Extant game theory recommends diverse strategies (plans of actions) for various given games, particularly those in Nash equilibria, in which no player benefits from one-sided strategy alteration. The literature also refers to the design of games that fit given goals. This is the mechanism design theory; its function is to serve social planners ignorant of the preferences of the people intended to play them. Our study of games avoidance adds to game theory the meta-game of choosing what game to play and what game to avoid playing, and that both players and planners can generate. This comprises a shift from the maximalist position that aims to maximize possible profit to the minimalist one that aims at minimizing possible loss. This shift depends on the question, considering the public interest, what set of games is it advisable to encourage? Obviously, it is advisable to encourage playing some groups of games such as trade, as well as to discourage playing other groups of games such as wars. This shift makes the theory much more applicable to social science: usually, choosing what game to play is less practical than choosing what game not to play. This invites legislation and similar incentives; their study should aim at the improvement of their usefulness. Discussing the possibility of changing both game and strategy renders game theory part-and-parcel of social science. For this mathematical models will not do: it requires a clear distinction between describing options and explaining situations. Explanations may enhance efforts at improvement. 001468099 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 24, 2023). 001468099 650_0 $$aGame theory. 001468099 650_0 $$aDecision making. 001468099 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001468099 7001_ $$aAgassi, Joseph,$$eauthor. 001468099 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031276000$$z9783031276002$$w(OCoLC)1369415579 001468099 830_0 $$aStudies in systems, decision and control ;$$vv. 469.$$x2198-4190 001468099 852__ $$bebk 001468099 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-27601-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001468099 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1468099$$pGLOBAL_SET 001468099 980__ $$aBIB 001468099 980__ $$aEBOOK 001468099 982__ $$aEbook 001468099 983__ $$aOnline 001468099 994__ $$a92$$bISE
