Reviews
Posterity may regard this book as one of the major scientific achievements of the first half of the twentieth century. This will undoubtedly be the case if the authors have succeeded in establishing a new exact science--the science of economics. The foundation which they have laid is extremely promising. -- The Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, Praise for Princeton's previous edition: "A rich and multifaceted work. . . . [S]ixty years later, the Theory of Games may indeed be viewed as one of the landmarks of twentieth-century social science." ---Robert J. Leonard, History of Political Economics, Praise for Princeton's previous edition: "Opinions still vary on the success of the project to put economics on a sound mathematical footing, but game theory was eventually hugely influential, especially on mathematics and the study of automata. Every self-respecting library must have one."-- Mike Holderness, New Scientist, Praise for Princeton's previous edition: "Opinions still vary on the success of the project to put economics on a sound mathematical footing, but game theory was eventually hugely influential, especially on mathematics and the study of automata.

ÝS¨ixty years later, the Theory of Games may indeed be viewed as one of the landmarks of twentieth-century social science. Princeton University Press is to be congratulated for bringing together the book, the reviews and the accompanying essays in this particularly handsome volume." -- Robert J. Leonard, "Posterity may regard this book as one of the major scientific achievements of the first half of the twentieth century.

The foundation which they have laid is extremely promising."-- The Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, "While the jury is still out on the success or failure of game theory as an attempted palace coup within the economics community, few would deny that interest in the subject--as measured in numbers of journal page--is at or near an all-time high. For that reason alone, this handsome new edition of von Neumann and Morgenstern's still controversial classic should be welcomed by the entire research community."-- James Case, SIAM News, "The main achievement of the book lies, more than in its concrete results, in its having introduced into economics the tools of modern logic and in using them with an astounding power of generalization." -- The Journal of Political Economy, One cannot but admire the audacity of vision, the perseverance in details, and the depth of thought displayed in almost every page of the book. . . .
