Summary
The study of games is the study of social interaction in the face of different incentive structures. In this introductory chapter to our volume, we discuss the spectrum of conflict, competition, and cooperation that those incentives can entail. We also summarise the contributions of each of the volume’s distinguished authors, and locate those contributions in the histories of science and society.
