Two MIT economists show how game theory--the ultimate theory of rationality--explains irrational behavior We like to think of ourselves as rational. This idea is the foundation for classical economic analysis of human behavior, including the awesome achievements of game theory. But as behavioral economics shows, most behavior doesn't seem rational at all--which, unfortunately, to cast doubt on game theory's real-world credibility. In Hidden Games, Moshe Hoffman and Erez Yoeli find a surprising middle ground between the hyperrationality of classical economics and the hyper-irrationality of behavioral economics. They call it hidden games. Reviving game theory, Hoffman and Yoeli use it to explain our most puzzling behavior, from the mechanics of Stockholm syndrome and internalized misogyny to why we help strangers and have a sense of fairness. Fun and powerfully insightful, Hidden Games is an eye-opening argument for using game theory to explain all the irrational things we think, feel, and do.
Winner of the 2016 PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing The true story of the game that never should have happened--and of a nation on the brink of monumental change In the fall of 1943, at the little-known North Carolina College for Negroes, Coach John McLendon was on the verge of changing basketball forever. A protégé of James Naismith, the game's inventor, McLendon taught his team to play the full-court press and run a fast break that no one could catch. His Eagles would become the highest-scoring college team in America--a basketball juggernaut that shattered its opponents by as many as sixty points per game. Yet his players faced danger whenever they traveled backcountry roads. Across town, at Duke University, the best basketball squad on campus wasn't the Blue Devils, but an all-white military team from the Duke medical school. Composed of former college stars from across the country, the team dismantled everyone they faced, including the Duke varsity. They were prepared to take on anyone--until an audacious invitation arrived, one that was years ahead of anything the South had ever seen before. What happened next wasn't on anyone's schedule. Based on years of research, The Secret Game is a story of courage and determination, and of an incredible, long-buried moment in the nation's sporting past. The riveting, true account of a remarkable season, it is the story of how a group of forgotten college basketball players, aided by a pair of refugees from Nazi Germany and a group of daring student activists, not only blazed a trail for a new kind of America, but helped create one of the most meaningful moments in basketball history.

It’s World War II, and Denmark is occupied by German armed forces. Exasperated by the pacifist complacency of daily life under the Government’s co-operative agreement with the Germans, Danes are distancing themselves from the official stance. A nation-wide grassroots’ revolt is breaking out. By August 1943, insurrection against the German occupation flares into lawlessness and sabotage. In the provincial town of Odense, the Niemann family run a prosperous fashion house and factory that has always traded with Germany. As the insurgency builds, vigilantes hunt down collaborators and ‘terrain mattresses’: women who befriend Germans. When 17-yearold Maia Niemann`s secret infatuation with a German officer is revealed, there are disastrous ramifications. Overnight, she becomes the target of Danish patriotic zealots, and is forced to flee the town. Maia moves in with her Aunt Mille in Copenhagen, where she hopes to pursue her dreams of becoming a top fashion designer. But her aunt has secrets of her own; not least, her involvement in the resistance movement. Summer in Copenhagen heats up in more ways than one, until Maia is faced with the biggest dilemma of her life. The choices she is forced to make will bring drastic consequences.

Le sexe ? Explosif. Les sentiments ? Trop dangereux. – Tu veux que j’aille lui casser la figure ? Je risque un œil par-dessus le bord du mouchoir. Il a l’air mortellement sérieux. Et dangereux. Le tissu se froisse sous mes doigts. Je ne le connais pas, après tout. Qui me dit que je n’ai pas affaire à un gangster ? Et je suis seule avec lui… Je resserre la couverture autour de mes épaules et je me tasse contre la vitre. Orion secoue la tête. Son visage se détend en un franc sourire tandis que je me traite mentalement de paranoïaque. – Ne t’inquiète pas, ma belle, lance-t-il, insistant sur les derniers mots, avec un sourire en coin. Je rugis mais ne mords pas. Mes petites sœurs sont plus dangereuses que moi ! – Je t’ai déjà dit d’arrêter avec les surnoms ! lui rappelé-je. Je ne suis pas « ta » belle, ni celle de personne ! – À tes ordres, fiera ! répond-il, narquois. *** « Sa sensualité, ses caresses et ses baisers seront ma plus belle erreur ! » Leah s’enfuit dans sa décapotable rouge à travers la forêt. Sous la pluie. En robe de mariée. Le maquillage dégoulinant. Mais quand elle crève un pneu et doit mettre fin à sa course folle, elle ne s’attend pas à voir venir à son secours un mécanicien aussi sexy que tatoué ! Orion est l’exact opposé des hommes qu’elle fréquente d’habitude. Un bad boy aussi sombre qu’attentionné, capable de l’embraser d’un regard et de lui offrir les nuits les plus torrides sans rien attendre en retour. Et surtout pas des sentiments. Comment dire non ? Leah fuyait une vie étouffante, et cette nouvelle liberté est enivrante. Mais quand le passé la rattrape, il pourrait bien tout réduire en cendres ! *** Secret Games, de Juliette Duval, volume 5/6
