The Strategist: The Life and Times of Thomas Schelling

Format: Hardcover
Pagination: 260 pages
Publisher: Hollis Pub Co
Published: Nov 2006
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1884186378
ISBN-13: 978-1884186370

About the book:
Schelling's story is a missing piece in Cold War history. We are used to hearing accounts of the battles, the conferences, the political leaders, the dangerous times. What isn't in these tellings is the story of the civilian strategists whose ideas framed the arguments and influenced the direction events took. Their impact was considerable, and the Nobel Prize has brought Thomas Schelling out of the shadows. This book rounds out that story and delves into topics germane and significant today.

On October 10, 2005, the Nobel Prize Committee announced that Thomas C. Schelling had won the Prize for Economics "for having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis." It was an announcement many had long expected. Though little known to the general public, Schelling's influence on the post-World War II world has been considerable. Notable in many academic arenas, Schelling's name continues to be associated most frequently with the Cold War and nuclear strategy.
Deterrence, the "hotline," Kennedy's stance during the brinkmanship of the Berlin Crisis, and Mutually Assured Destruction are examples of his role during the world's most dangerous era. Schelling emerged on the scene soon after the Cold War began, as he was off to Europe with the Marshall Plan, and his influence continued into the 1970s, contributing to the SALT I and ABM arms negotiation breakthroughs.
It was with the think tank RAND that Schelling began to transform into a "Cold Warrior," and where he adopted the game-theory analysis he would use as part of his strategic thinking. Always the rationalist, he sought to reduce situations to puzzles that could be solved and used metaphors to explain key elements, so those who made decisions would do so with understanding. He was remarkably successful, but the margin for error was small, and there were times when it was perilously close.
Until now, his story, that of a strategic thinker behind the scenes during the major events of the turbulent Cold War, was a missing part of the drama.

New Edition What would the world be like if its ruling elite was insane? The most powerful class of institution on earth, the corporation, is by any reasonable measure hopelessly and unavoidably demented. The corporation lies, steals and kills without remorse and without hesitation when it serves the interests of its shareholders to do so. It obeys the law only when the costs of crime exceed the profits. Corporate social responsibility is impossible except insofar as it is insincere. At once a diagnosis and a course of treatment, The Corporation is essential reading for those who want to understand the nature of the modern business system.

Published: 07 Jul 2005
Language: English
Binding: Hardback

Modern life can be baffling and chaotic. Is there any way of making sense of it? The answer, explains groundbreaking thinker Steven Levitt, lies in economics. Not ordinary economics, but freakonomics. It is at the heart of everything we see and do and the subjects that bedevil us daily: from parenting to crime, sport to politics, fat to cheating, fear to traffic jams. In Freakonomics Levitt turns conventional economics on its head, stripping away the jargon and calculations of the experts' to explore the riddles of everyday life and examine topics such as: how chips are more likely to kill you than murder or a terrorist attack; why sportsmen cheat and how fraud can be spotted; why violent crime can be linked not to gun laws, policing or poverty, but to abortion; why a road is more efficient when everyone travels at 20mph; how the name you give your child can give them an advantage in later life; and what really causes obesity epidemics. Ultimately, he shows us that economics is all about how people get what they want, and what makes them do it. Asking provocative and profound questions about human motivation and contemporary living and reaching some astonishing conclusions, Freakonomics will make you see the familiar world through a completely original lens.
