Dr Strangelove's Game: A Brief History of Economic Genius"Paul Strathern uncovers the lives and ideas of the great philosophers of money against the backdrop of some of history's most turbulent events: the South Sea Bubble, the French and Russian Revolutions and the Crash of 1929. On the way he provides an enriching and entertaining account of the great, the good and the downright bad in economic theories - from double-entry book-keeping to game theory."--BOOK JACKET. |
