Product Description

Review

"Mr. Schelling's [book] transformed the way many economists think about the relationship between competition and social welfare." Robert Frank, The New York Times"

Product Description

Originally published over twenty-five years ago, "Micromotives and Macrobehavior" still feels fresh today. And the subject of these stories - how small and seemingly meaningless decisions and actions by individuals often lead to significant unintended consequences for a large group - is more important than ever. In one famous example, Thomas C. Schelling shows that a slight-but-not-malicious preference to have neighbours of the same race eventually leads to completely segregated populations. The updated edition contains a new preface and the author's Nobel Prize acceptance speech.

2.0 out of 5 stars hmmm, I expected more, 9 May 2006
Schelling provides a lot of examples to illustrate the idea that individual preferences and actions may add up in very special ways and the macro outcome can be something nobody wanted. The problem is that the book does not go behind the examples, no general models are proposed, the deeper insights are missing. I have to recognize that some exaples are so well elaborated, that the aforementioned problems do not seem important. In summary, I expected more from a Nobel-prize winner.
