Summary: This book is based on a series of lectures given at Oxford, and comments on this use of non‐cooperative game theory. After providing a non technical introduction to the basic ideas of non cooperative game theory, the book discusses: (1) how and why game theory has been a success because it permits economists to model and analyse situations of dynamic competition and where private information plays an important role; (2) how and why the theory has failed to provide an understanding of when it (and equilibrium analysis) applies, when not, and what to do when not; and (3) how its weaknesses might be addressed—by considering individuals who are imperfectly rational and learn adaptively.
