Reviews

From the reviews: All the most important features of von Neumann's impact on 20th-century economics -- from the spread of the axiomatic method to the popularization of several analytical techniques to the idea itself of 'modelization' as the only proper way to investigate economic phenomena ! it follows that this book is a real boon, as well as a must-read, for every historian or economist wishing to understand how, and by whom, modern neoclassical economics has been shaped in the first two or three decades after World War II. (Nicola Giocoli, History of Economic Ideas, Vol. 18 (1), 2010) The World as a Mathematical Game says that the book 'provides the first comprehensive scientific and intellectual biography of John von Neumann'. It covers the ground well and thoroughly in 175 pages of text, moving chronologically through his astonishing career. ! The authors have written their book for a general audience. ! In any event, it is good to have this outline of von Neumann's work. (Underwood Dudley, The Mathematical Association of America, October, 2009)
