Prediction

A fascinating new book

Daniel Finkelstein, The Times

Mesquita offers zingily provocative contemporary policy ideas

Guardian

Fruitful reading that will make it difficult to look at the world through quite the same eyes as in one's virginal, pre-game theory days

Kirkus Reviews

Organized thought applied to problems can illuminate and help solve them. This easy and enjoyable read is, in many ways, a how-to book for that very purpose

George P. Shultz, former U.S. Secretary of State

Bruce Bueno de Mesquita has demonstrated the power of using game theory and related assumptions of rational and self-seeking behavior in predicting the outcome of important political and legal processes. No one will fail to appreciate and learn from this well-written and always interesting account of his procedures

Kenneth Arrow, Nobel Prize-winning economist; Professor Emeritus, Stanford University

Predictioneer teaches us that we can predict how a conflict may be resolved if we carefully consider the incentives for all parties in the conflict. In an extraordinary range of applications, from ancient history to tomorrow's headlines, Bruce Bueno de Mesquita demonstrates the power of the game-theoretic approach

Roger B. Myerson, Nobel Prize-winning economist; Professor, University of Chicago
