He explores topics as awesome as nuclear terrorism, as sordid as blackmail, as ineffable as daydreaming, as intimidating as euthanasia. He examines ethical issues wrapped up in economics, unwrapping the economics to disclose ethical issues that are misplaced or misidentified.

Sinopsis

A political economist examines the subject of ambiguous rationality in relation to such phenomena as nuclear terrorism, blackmail, euthanasia, and daydreaming and discusses the ethical issues of policy

Cr�ticas

Without exception, the essays are witty, erudite and stimulating.--Wall Street Journal What makes Schelling such a pleasure to read, apart from his lean, clear, wry conversational style, is the shrewdness and human insight with which he breaks down complex problems and phenomena into their parts, permitting systematic understanding to develop.--The New Republic Whether one is looking for evidence and insights on the rationality or the irrationality of man, Choice and Consequence is one of the very best places to look... Mr. Schelling's book is a superb place to get a sense of both the need for and the dangers of the assumption of rationality.--New York Times
