This book introduces readers to basic game theory as a tool to deal with strategic decision problems, helping them to understand the complexity of such problems – to extract a solution, if possible – and to manage the complexity by revising the game if appropriate. The authors discuss basic decision situations modeled as Prisoners’ Dilemma, Chicken Game, and Stag Hunt Game, as well as concepts like the Nash equilibrium, Trembling Hand Perfectness, Rationalizable Strategies and the Theory of Moves to introduce game theoretic thinking. Further, the book presents pioneers of strategic thinking, e.g., Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Adam Smith, and Goethe, and includes cases of conflict and cooperation to illustrate practical applications. Readers learn to apply game theory in business and in daily life – to manage their decision problems and to better understand the decision problems of others.

Exploring the concept of Convention Economics, this book delves into whether it represents a new economic paradigm or a reinterpretation of existing theories. It examines the role of social conventions in economic behavior, highlighting how these norms influence decision-making and market dynamics. Through a critical analysis, the author challenges traditional economic models and proposes a fresh perspective on the interplay between culture and economics, making it a thought-provoking read for those interested in the evolution of economic thought.
This volume features a diverse range of scholarly articles exploring complex themes in economics, political science, and the arts. It discusses the use of civil servants in rent-seeking behaviors, the effectiveness of direct voter contact by political parties, and the interplay between politics and literature through the works of Rex Warner and Czesław Miłosz. Additionally, it examines artists' perspectives on the droit de suite and analyzes how educational levels influence arts participation. The collection concludes with a review of alternative views on public economics.
