But as Michael Chwe reveals in his insightful new book, Jane Austen explored game theory's core ideas in her six novels roughly two hundred years ago. Jane Austen, Game Theorist shows how this beloved writer theorized choice and preferences, prized strategic thinking, argued that jointly strategizing with a partner is the surest foundation for intimacy, and analyzed why superiors are often strategically clueless about inferiors. With a diverse range of literature and folktales, this book illustrates the wide relevance of game theory and how, fundamentally, we are all strategic thinkers. Although game theory's mathematical development began in the Cold War 1950s, Chwe finds that game theory has earlier subversive historical roots in Austen's novels and in "folk game theory" traditions, including African American folktales. Chwe makes the case that these literary forebears are game theory's true scientific predecessors. He considers how Austen in particular analyzed "cluelessness"--the conspicuous absence of strategic thinking--and how her sharp observations apply to a variety of situations, including U.S. military blunders in Iraq and Vietnam. Jane Austen, Game Theorist brings together the study of literature and social science in an original and surprising way."--Publisher's website. 000470343 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000470343 60010 $$aAusten, Jane,$$d1775-1817$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000470343 650_0 $$aGame theory in literature. 000470343 650_0 $$aGame theory$$xSocial aspects. 000470343 650_0 $$aRational choice theory. 000470343 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000470343 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aChwe, Michael Suk-Young, 1965-$$tJane Austen, game theorist.$$dPrinceton ; Oxford : Princeton University Press, [2013]$$z9780691155760$$w(DLC) 2012041510$$w(OCoLC)820123480 000470343 8520_ $$bacq 000470343 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000470343 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1114884$$zOnline Access 000470343 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:470343$$pGLOBAL_SET 000470343 980__ $$aEBOOK 000470343 980__ $$aBIB 000470343 982__ $$aEbook 000470343 983__ $$aOnline
