Second edition, stated, of the foundational text of modern game theory, written by Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, engineer, and polymath John von Neumann and German-American economist Oskar Morgenstern and published by Princeton University Press in 1947, three years after publication of the first edition. 8vo, hardcover, 641 pages, with over 100 figures in the text.

Arguably, one of the most important and influential disquisitions of the twentieth century, owing to its subsequent applications to the social sciences and strategic decision-making. Gentle bumping to extremities. Pin-sized damp stains along dj spine. Bumping and chipping to price-clipped dj, with open tears to spine head and rear top corner.
