Reviews

The core of this book is a collection of intellectual theories and mathematical models that ignore many key elements of the modern political process. Abstract models can tell little about the role lobbyists play in shoveling millions of dollars into political campaigns. To his credit, Bueno de Mesquita does an excellent job of explaining these models, which play an important role in political policy today. --Choice
