Produktbeschreibung

Accessible to all readers. . . . [T]he book's aim of understanding social systems through a combination of game theory and history provides substantial insight. --Masahiro Aoki, Asahi Shimbun, Tokyo This is a very compelling and original work. It is the best conceptual book I have read in economics in several years. It will have an immediate and enthusiastic readership in the social sciences and will make Chwe's name as an important thinker. --Tyler Cowen, George Mason University Rational Ritual is engaging, well organized, and well written. It brings together the tools of game theory and the issues posed within a wide variety of areas of contemporary social theory to address an important problem. Students and scholars in diverse academic disciplines--including political science, sociology, anthropology, and some areas of cultural studies--will find the book both relevant and accessible. --David Ruccio, University of Notre Dame
