First edition of this work that pioneered the study of bargaining and strategic behavior. Octavo, original yellow cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For William Tom Schelling. June '10." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Uncommon in this condition and signed. "Against the backdrop of the nuclear arms race in the late 1950s, Thomas Schelling's book The Strategy of Conflict set forth his vision of game theory as a unifying framework for the social sciences. Schelling showed that a party can strengthen its position by overtly worsening its own options, that the capability to retaliate can be more useful than the ability to resist an attack, and that uncertain retaliation is more credible and more efficient than certain retaliation. These insights have proven to be of great relevance for conflict resolution and efforts to avoid war. Schelling's work prompted new developments in game theory and accelerated its use and application throughout the social sciences. Notably, his analysis of strategic commitments has explained a wide range of phenomena, from the competitive strategies of firms to the delegation of political decision power" (The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences). Chosen as one of the hundred books most influential since the War by the Times Literary Supplement. In 2005, Schelling shared the Nobel Prize in Economics for "having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis.".

Schelling: Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, 2005 (shared with Robert J. Aumann), 'for having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis.' 'An attempt to extend the scope of game theory, using the zero-sum game as a limiting case rather than as a point of departure. The proposed extension consists of identifying the perceptual and suggestive element in the formation of mutually consistent expectations, and of identifying some of the basic 'moves' that may occur in actual games of strategy and the structural elements on which the moves depend. Game theory is underdeveloped along these lines in that 'rational strategies' pursued by two players in a situation of pure conflict should not be expected to reveal what kind of behavior is conductive to mutual accommodation, or how mutual dependence can be exploited for unilateral gain' (Web site of the Rand Corporation, which reprinted the book). '[T]his early work was all in cooperative game theory. John Nash had introduced the basic concept of noncooperative equilibrium in 1951, but in the decade thereafter there was very little work in noncooperative game theory. The most important advance in this decade was Thomas Schelling's (1957, 1958) theory of the focal-point effect in games with multiple equilibria, which he advocated as a better way to understand bargaining in the real world' (Roger Meyerson, 'Learning Game Theory from John Harsanyi', August 31, 2000; on Meyerson's Northwestern Web page). Schelling (1957) to which Meyerson refers is 'Bargaining, communication and limited war' (Journal of Conflict Resolution 1, 19-36). Also see Alessandro Innocenti, 'Linking Strategic Interaction and Bargaining Theory. The Harsanyi - Schelling Debate on the Axiom of Symmetry' (Nov. 2005), in which the University of Siena professor prints an interesting e-mail sent him by Schelling: 'Harsanyi and I overlapped at Yale University for about two years in the 1950s but we had little communication. That was partly because he was shy and reticent, partly I think because his English was not comfortable for him. I believe others had the same experience. I published an article, On the Abandonment of Symmetry in Game Theory in August, 1959, eighteen months after I had left Yale; I included it in my book, The Strategy of Conflict, 1960. It mainly targeted Harsanyi's work, but I am not aware that he paid any attention to it. We certainly did not correspond about it. I wish we had. That's about all I can tell you. I wish I had more.'.

First edition, first printing, inscribed on the title page to his fellow economist, "With best wishes to Roman Weil, Tom Schelling, April '08". This was the Nobel Laureate economist's most influential book, pioneering the application of game theory to political and social analysis. The thesis was developed from Schelling's work at the RAND Corporation on the nuclear arms race. Weil (1940-2023) served as professor of accounting at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He coauthored several textbooks, including the highly regarded Accounting: The Language of Business (1974), as well as over 100 journal articles and notes. He developed the widely used Fisher-Weil measure of bond duration. Octavo. Tables and diagrams in the text. Original yellow cloth, spine lettered in black. With dust jacket. Unclipped jacket worn with some loss, without repair: a fine copy in acceptable jacket.
