Review
"This book is very useful for economists of all ages, and it is a must for Ph.D. students and their advisors. I suggest that all authors submitting papers to Games and Economic Behavior use Thomson's book as a guideline."--Ehud Kalai, James J. O'Connor Distinguished Professor of Decision and Game Sciences, Northwestern University "Bringing the Biosphere Home is eloquent, passionate, richly allusive, and original."--John C. Elder, Stewart Professor of English and Environmental Studies, Middlebury College, Author of Reading the Mountains of Home " Fair Division and Collective Welfare is a distinguished book which furnishes a rigorous exposition of distributive justice with many well-crafted examples. It fills a signifigant gap in the literature of modern microeconomics, and enables students and researchers to unfold the complete picture of the discipline."--Stephen Ching, School of Economics & Finance, University of Hong Kong "Moulin identifies common principles in discussions of social dilemmas across a wide range of problems -- taxation, bargaining, voting -- and shows how these principles lead to specific solutions. It is historically integrated as well, identifying common themes that range from Aristotle and the Talmud on one hand, to modern thinkers such as Arrow, Aumann, Harsanyi, Nash and Shapley on the other. This is an excellent introduction to distributive justice, social choice, bargaining, fair division and related subjects, but those already working in these fields can also find the broad overview here, wonderfully unfolded."--Ehud Kalai, James J. O'Connor Distinguished Professor of Decision and Game Sciences, Northwestern University
