Gunnar Myrdal - A Life Of Many Dilemmas

by Claes Berg

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Gunnar Myrdal''s life, as well as his significant scientific, political and international contributions. Recognized as one of the foremost Stockholm economists, Myrdal, alongside Keynes, played a pivotal role in revolutionizing economic theory during the 1930s. Together with his wife, Alva Myrdal, he was instrumental in shaping the Swedish welfare state. Gunnar Myrdal was far ahead of his time in demonstrating that both a strong state and a vibrant civil society are essential for developing an inclusive welfare state.Myrdal''s influence extended well beyond Sweden. His groundbreaking analysis of racial oppression in the United States, particularly in his seminal work An American Dilemma, is widely regarded as a landmark in the struggle for equal rights. During the Cold War, he played a key role in the United Nations'' efforts to rebuild Europe and sought to bridge the divide between East and West. His penetrating examination of the causes of underdevelopment in Asian Drama made a significant contribution to the understanding of prejudice and colonial oppression.This book traces Gunnar Myrdal''s journey from his childhood to the Nobel Memorial Prize, detailing his intense collaboration with Alva and her eventual professional independence. It compellingly illustrates how he, with clear-eyed pragmatism and a steadfast commitment to his values, addressed both Swedish and global social challenges. Remarkably, many of the issues Myrdal grappled with remain deeply relevant today, including the cracks in Sweden''s welfare society, racism in the United States, the rise of authoritarian regimes, and the re-emergence of a new Cold War.This book will particularly resonate with social scientists and general readers interested in the role of institutions in development, the motivations behind the inclusive welfare state, and the crucial importance of letting value premises guide research, policy solutions and actions on social issues, including identity, race, and power.

On Coordination In Non-Cooperative Game Theory - Explaining How And Why An Equilibrium Occurs And Prevails

by Lauren Larrouy

145,74€ + 10% CARD

 By offering a critical assessment of the evolution of standard game theory, this book argues for a shift in the ontology and methodology of game theory for appraising games, one based on understanding the players’ strategic reasoning process.Analyzing the history of economic thought, the book highlights the methodological issues faced by standard game theory in its treatment of strategic reasoning and the consequence it has on the status of players’ beliefs. It also highlights how the two original contributions of T. C. Schelling and M. Bacharach can be applied to these issues. Furthermore, the book assesses the intersubjective dimension in games by applying the cognitive sciences and by integrating simulation theory into game theory.Consequently, this book offers an interdisciplinary approach for reassessing the nature of the intersubjectivity involved in strategic reasoning. It shows that the analysis of games should involve the study and identification of the reasoning process that leads the players to a specific outcome, i.e., to a specific solution. A game should not be understood (as is done in standard game theory) as a mathematical representation of an individual choice at equilibrium. This requires investigating the players’ capacity for coordination. Understanding the process of coordination allows us to understand strategic reasoning and ultimately to provide new answers to the indeterminacy problem, one of the central hurdles in game theory, and one that underscores its normative difficulties.
