Game Theory at Work: How to use game theory to outthink and outmanuever your competition by James Miller isn’t my usual brain candy. I asked for this book last Christmas, on a semi-whim, and got it as a gift. I read it last month.
Though written by economics professor James Miller, this book reads well. It’s not artful. You could call it Machiavellian except that it’s even more direct and honest about tactics than The Prince. Game Theory at Work is more a playbook than a strategy tome — and that was refreshing and more interesting. I can’t claim to have applied what I read yet, and business is more than a game. But there are moments… Miller has a blog, Adventures in Economics. Subscribed.
Side note: there’s a pretty impressive result on Google Books for this book. First time I’ve taken a look at this Google service in months. High utility value, which I love.
