Thomas Schelling was een visionaire econoom wiens werk de dynamiek van conflict en samenwerking diepgaand onderzocht. Door middel van game-theory analyse belichtte hij de ingewikkelde strategieën die menselijke interacties sturen, en bood hij unieke inzichten in hoe vrede en stabiliteit kunnen worden bereikt. Zijn analyses van strategisch denken en besluitvorming in situaties van tegengestelde belangen resoneren nog steeds in verschillende disciplines.





Report of the Nuclear Energy Policy Study Group
Book by Keeny
In Choice and Consequence, Thomas Schelling ventures where rationality is ambiguous, exploring topics as awesome as nuclear terrorism, as sordid as blackmail, as ineffable as daydreaming, as intimidating as euthanasia. He examines ethical issues wrapped up in economics, and discloses ethical issues that are misplaced or misidentified.
Analyzes the nature of international disagreements and conflict resolution in terms of game theory and non-zero-sum games.

This edition contains a new preface by the author where he considers the book's relevance over forty years after its first publication. Included as an afterword is the text of Professor Schelling's Nobel acceptance speech, in which he reflects upon the global taboo that has emerged against nuclear weapons since Hiroshima"--Unedited summary from book cover
