Thomas Schellings strategische Ökonomik

Thomas Schelling is seen as an extremely versatile and creative economist. He develops his theories with the help of illustrative examples, making his scholarly essays and collections of essays easy to understand, even for non-economists. Schelling's strategic economics always focuses on the question of how people make decisions when their best choice depends on the decisions of other people. Schelling's best-known work, »The Strategy of Conflict,« forced the sociological analysis of (nuclear-) strategic behavior and has become one of those hundred works which have had the greatest influence on the Western world since the Second World War.
