The Mathematics of Justice

Exploring the intersection of ethics and mathematical bargaining theory, this work critiques the Nash bargaining solution's foundations, revealing its divergence from real-life scenarios. It examines three major justifications for the Nash solution and demonstrates how adjusting these premises leads to a utilitarian approach. By providing a mathematical model of bargaining applicable to real-world situations, the book appeals to game theorists, moral philosophers, and anyone involved in cooperative endeavors, all without requiring prior knowledge in the fields.
