"A Nobel laureate reveals the often surprising rules that govern a vast array of activities-- both mundane and life-changing-- in which money may play little or no role. If you've ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to college or guided your child into a good kindergarten, asked someone out on a date or been asked out, you've participated in a kind of market.

Roth is one of the world's leading experts on matching markets; he has even designed several of them. He reveals the matching markets hidden around us and shows how to recognize a good match and make smarter, more confident decisions"
