About this Item

First edition, inscribed by the author 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.
