Philosophy, Politics, and Economics is a comprehensive and updated introduction to the fundamental tools and concepts of analysis that are essential for students studying social and political issues. Coauthored by one of the field's pioneers, this textbook offers a complete overview of the core methodologies of rational choice, strategic analysis, norms, and collective choice that form the foundation of political philosophy and the social sciences.
The book begins by exploring individual choice, delving into decision theory, utility theory, and concepts of welfare economics and consumer choice theory. It then moves on to strategic choice in game theory, examining topics such as bargaining theory, repeated games, and evolutionary game theory. The text also considers how social norms can be understood, observed, and measured. Concluding chapters address collective choice, social choice theory and democracy, and the connections between public choice theory and voters, representatives, and institutions.
Rigorous and comprehensive, Philosophy, Politics, and Economics remains an essential text for this popular and burgeoning field. It is the only book that covers the entirety of PPE methods, providing a rigorous, nontechnical introduction to decision theory, game theory, and positive political theory. It also serves as a philosophical introduction to rational choice theory in the social sciences, making it an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.
