This year's winners of the Nobel Prize for Economics are Thomas C. Schelling and Robert J. Aumann, "for having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis." For some really good write-ups on these two men and their work, check out Marginal Revolution. Incidentally, if you are at all interested in economics, you should be reading this blog on a regular basis, its that good.

Ditto that. Even if you're not interested in economics, but want to learn how to think better, read it.

There's an interesting article in slate here about how one of the winners' application of game theory helped lead the US to intervene in Vietnam.
