1 Theory of Games and Economic Behavior | | A mathematician and an economist formalize strategic interaction as a rigorous branch of mathematics, introduce the minimax theorem and mixed strategy as tools for analyzing conflicts of interest, and thereby found a discipline that reshaped economics, biology, and political science. | — | 1944 | John von Neumann & Oskar Morgenstern | 01 | Princeton University Press | 776 | 0691130612 | Inglês | Economia | 4.2 | Quero ler | Theory of Games and Economic Behavior | Princeton University Press | 2007 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0691130612 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=Theory+of+Games+and+Economic+Behavior+von+Neumann |

2 The strategy of conflict | | Schelling shows that the capacity to constrain one's own future choices, burning bridges, making irrevocable threats, tying one's own hands, can be a source of bargaining power rather than weakness, and applies this insight to nuclear deterrence, labor negotiations, and everyday tactics of commitment. | — | 1960 | Thomas C. Schelling | 02 | Harvard University Press | 309 | 0674840313 | Inglês | Estratégia | 4.0 | Quero ler | The Strategy of Conflict | Harvard University Press | 1980 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0674840313 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=The+Strategy+of+Conflict+Schelling |

3 Games and Decisions | | Written as the first comprehensive synthesis of game theory for a general scholarly audience, this survey organizes zero-sum and non-zero-sum games, cooperative and non-cooperative solutions, and utility theory into a single coherent framework that remained the standard reference for a generation of researchers and students. | — | 1957 | R. Duncan Luce & Howard Raiffa | 03 | Dover Publications | 509 | 0486659437 | Inglês | Economia | 3.8 | Quero ler | Games and Decisions: Introduction and Critical Survey | John Wiley & Sons | 1989 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486659437 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=Games+and+Decisions+Luce+Raiffa |

4 Evolution and the theory of games | | A biologist imports the mathematics of game theory into evolutionary biology to explain why animal conflicts so rarely escalate to lethal violence, introduces the concept of the evolutionarily stable strategy, and demonstrates that natural selection itself can be modeled as a game played across generations. | — | 1982 | John Maynard Smith | 04 | Cambridge University Press | 224 | 0521288843 | Inglês | Biologia evolutiva | 4.0 | Quero ler | Evolution and the Theory of Games | Cambridge University Press | 1982 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521288843 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=Evolution+and+the+Theory+of+Games+Maynard+Smith |

5 A course in game theory | | The standard graduate-level text builds strategic and extensive form games, Nash equilibrium, and repeated and cooperative games from first principles with a rigor and economy of exposition that made it the discipline's working reference for training economists worldwide. | — | 1994 | Martin J. Osborne & Ariel Rubinstein | 05 | MIT Press | 368 | 0262650401 | Inglês | Economia | 4.0 | Quero ler | A Course in Game Theory | MIT Press | 1994 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262650401 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=A+Course+in+Game+Theory+Osborne+Rubinstein |

6 Game Theory (Myerson) | | A Nobel laureate in economics presents mechanism design and Bayesian games alongside classical game theory, treats the discipline as a general theory of rational behavior in social situations, and grounds the entire subject in the axiomatic decision theory that precedes it. | — | 1991 | Roger B. Myerson | 06 | Harvard University Press | 580 | 0674341163 | Inglês | Economia | 4.0 | Quero ler | Game Theory: Analysis of Conflict | Harvard University Press | 1997 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0674341163 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=Game+Theory+Analysis+of+Conflict+Myerson |

7 On numbers and games | | Conway constructs an entirely new number system, the surreal numbers, out of the recursive structure of two-player games, blurring the line between arithmetic and combinatorial play, and produces one of the strangest and most original works of mathematics of the twentieth century. | — | 1976 | John Horton Conway | 07 | A K Peters | 242 | 1568811276 | Inglês | Matemática | 4.4 | Quero ler | On Numbers and Games | Academic Press | 2001 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/1568811276 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=On+Numbers+and+Games+Conway |

8 Fun and Games | | Binmore treats game theory not as an abstract mathematical exercise but as a tool for understanding real strategic behavior, weaving philosophical discussion of rationality and evolutionary biology through equilibrium analysis and showing how strategic reasoning connects mathematics with human behavior. | — | 1991 | Ken Binmore | 08 | D.

9 Theory of moves | | Brams extends classical game theory by allowing players to think ahead through sequences of moves and countermoves rather than choosing a single strategy simultaneously, and applies the resulting dynamic framework to biblical narratives, superpower confrontations, and everyday bargaining. | — | 1994 | Steven J. Brams | 09 | Cambridge University Press | 248 | 0521458676 | Inglês | Ciência política | 3.5 | Quero ler | Theory of Moves | Cambridge University Press | 1994 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521458676 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=Theory+of+Moves+Brams |

10 Behavioral Game Theory | | Camerer confronts the rational-actor predictions of classical game theory with decades of laboratory experiments showing that real people cooperate, punish, and reciprocate in ways equilibrium theory cannot explain, and builds new models that incorporate social preferences and bounded reasoning into strategic analysis. | — | 2003 | Colin F. Camerer | 10 | Princeton University Press | 544 | 0691090394 | Inglês | Economia comportamental | 4.0 | Quero ler | Behavioral Game Theory: Experiments in Strategic Interaction | Princeton University Press | 2003 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0691090394 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=Behavioral+Game+Theory+Camerer |
