11 The war trap | | A political scientist formalizes the decision to go to war as a strategic calculation of expected utility made by rational leaders, tests the resulting model against a century of historical conflicts, and argues that war is best understood not as irrational failure but as a predictable rational outcome. | — | 1981 | Bruce Bueno de Mesquita | 11 | Yale University Press | 224 | 0300025580 | Inglês | Ciência política | 3.5 | Quero ler | The War Trap | Yale University Press | 1981 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0300025580 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=The+War+Trap+Bueno+de+Mesquita |

12 Auction Theory | | A rigorous treatment of the mathematics underlying English, Dutch, sealed-bid, and Vickrey auctions shows how the same strategic logic that governs art sales and spectrum licenses can be derived from a small set of axioms about bidder information and valuation. | — | 2002 | Vijay Krishna | 12 | Academic Press | 336 | 0123745071 | Inglês | Economia | 4.2 | Quero ler | Auction Theory | Academic Press | 2009 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0123745071 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=Auction+Theory+Krishna |

13 The Mathematics of Poker | | Two mathematicians apply game-theoretic optimal strategy to no-limit poker, derive the balanced betting frequencies that make a player unexploitable regardless of opponents' strategies, and turn a card game into a rigorous case study in incomplete-information equilibrium and strategic decision-making. | — | 2006 | Bill Chen & Jerrod Ankenman | 13 | ConJelCo | 382 | 1886070253 | Inglês | Matemática | 4.1 | Quero ler | The Mathematics of Poker | ConJelCo | 2006 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/1886070253 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=The+Mathematics+of+Poker+Chen+Ankenman |

14 Evolutionary Game Theory | | Weibull provides the definitive mathematical treatment of how strategies spread and stabilize within populations over repeated interactions, connecting the replicator dynamics of biology to the equilibrium concepts of classical game theory in a single unified formalism that bridges evolutionary and economic reasoning. | — | 1995 | Jorgen W.

15 The Evolution of Cooperation | | Axelrod runs computer tournaments of the repeated prisoner's dilemma, discovers that the simple tit-for-tat strategy of opening nice, retaliating, and forgiving beats far more sophisticated rivals, and derives the conditions under which cooperation emerges among self-interested players without any central authority. | — | 1984 | Robert Axelrod | 15 | Basic Books | 241 | 0465005640 | Inglês | Ciência política | 4.3 | Quero ler | The Evolution of Cooperation | Basic Books | 2006 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465005640 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=The+Evolution+of+Cooperation+Axelrod |

16 Game Theory (Fudenberg & Tirole) | | The encyclopedic graduate text covers static and dynamic games, incomplete information, refinements of Nash equilibrium, reputation, and bargaining with full mathematical rigor, and together with Osborne and Rubinstein became one of the two standard references for doctoral training in economic theory. | — | 1991 | Drew Fudenberg & Jean Tirole | 16 | MIT Press | 591 | 0262061414 | Inglês | Economia | 4.1 | Quero ler | Game Theory | MIT Press | 1991 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262061414 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=Game+Theory+Fudenberg+Tirole |

17 Micromotives and Macrobehavior | | Schelling shows how mild individual preferences aggregate into stark collective outcomes that nobody intended, most famously in his checkerboard model of residential segregation, and uses tipping points, critical mass, and self-fulfilling expectations to explain patterns in neighborhoods, markets, and social conventions. | — | 1978 | Thomas C.

18 The Stag Hunt and the Evolution of Social Structure | | A philosopher argues that Rousseau's stag hunt, a game of trust and coordination rather than the prisoner's dilemma, is the true prototype of the social contract, and uses evolutionary dynamics on networks to show how location, signaling, and association let cooperative social structures emerge and persist. | — | 2003 | Brian Skyrms | 18 | Cambridge University Press | 166 | 0521533929 | Inglês | Filosofia | 3.7 | Quero ler | The Stag Hunt and the Evolution of Social Structure | Cambridge University Press | 2003 | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521533929 | https://www.audible.com/search?keywords=The+Stag+Hunt+Skyrms |

19 Co-opetition | | Two strategy professors map every business onto a value net of customers, suppliers, competitors, and complementors, show that firms simultaneously compete to divide value and cooperate to create it, and translate game theory into practical levers for changing the players, added values, rules, tactics, and scope of a game. | — | 1996 | Adam M.

20 The Art of Strategy | | The successor to Thinking Strategically teaches game theory through cases from business, sports, politics, and daily life, covering backward reasoning, credible commitment, signaling and screening, bargaining, voting, and auctions, and remains the most accessible serious introduction to strategic thinking for practitioners. | — | 2008 | Avinash K.
