Rational Behaviour and Bargaining Equilibrium in Games and Social Situations

This is a paperback edition of a major contribution to the field first published in hard covers in 1977. The book outlines a general theory of rational behaviour consisting of individual decision theory ethics and game theory as its main branches. Decision theory deals with a rational pursuit of individual utility; ethics with a rational pursuit of the common interests of society; and game theory with an interaction of two or more rational individuals each pursuing his own interests in a rational manner.
