Rational Choice [Paperback]

The primary purpose of this book is to develop and unify the theory of rational choice. Michael Allingham produces a framework in which the problems of pure choice, choice under uncertainty, strategic choice and social change are united. A secondary purpose is to comment on attitudes to risk and of the concept of knowledge to examine how these problems impact on rational choice theory.Preface Symbols Introduction Choice Uncertainty Risk Strategy Knowledge Society Notes Appendix References IndexMICHAEL ALLINGHAM is a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford.
