Features: The author, David M. Kreps, is a professor of economics at the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. Professor Kreps' work has been a bestseller since its publication by Oxford University Press in 1990. In 1990, the book was reprinted twice, and in 1992, it was reprinted again. Although the book is not long, it comprehensively introduces the basic concepts of game theory, as well as the successes, shortcomings, and future prospects of this theory. After reading it, readers gain a comprehensive overview. In this book, Professor Kreps intentionally uses non-technical language, making the writing clear, fluent, and easy to understand. It is particularly noteworthy that most works on game theory require corresponding mathematical knowledge; however, Professor Kreps' book breaks this limitation. Anyone interested in this theory, regardless of whether they have the necessary mathematical knowledge, can read the entire book without difficulty. As a result, many professors in the United States include this book in the "required reading" list when teaching game theory.
