A beautiful theory
Abstract: It wasn?t A Beautiful Mind?the book or the movie?that made John Forbes Nash, Jr., famous. It was his work in game theory, a theory that models strategic interactions between people as games. Before Nash, the only games theorists could get a handle on were artificial ones with no real-world applications. Nash?s insights enabled economists to expand the use of game theory to interesting practical problems.
