Modern Money Mechanics | MMT simplified. What is Game Theory? Translations: Czech courtesy of Autip. Macedonian courtesy of Zoran Mitreski. Russian courtesy of Oleg Meister. What economists call game theory psychologists call the theory of social situations, which is an accurate description of what game theory is about. In addition to game theory, economic theory has three other main branches: decision theory, general equilibrium theory and mechanism design theory. Decision theory can be viewed as a theory of one person games, or a game of a single player against nature. General equilibrium theory can be viewed as a specialized branch of game theory that deals with trade and production, and typically with a relatively large number of individual consumers and producers. Mechanism design theory differs from game theory in that game theory takes the rules of the game as given, while mechanism design theory asks about the consequences of different types of rules. An Instructive Example Note that higher numbers are better (more utility). What happens?

The Johnsville News Libertarianism: a nice idea, but doomed Find More Stories Libertarianism: a nice idea, but doomed Darryl Adams There is a lot of discussion regarding libertarianism, but it is being confused by Ron Paul saying stuff. In a nutshell, libertarianism is like pure communism and pure capitalism. A libertarian is someone who knows that his or her decisions are the best, and any regulation is a personal affront to their liberty. So, using a scenario, let's explore one aspect of liberty. In a libertarian world, every person has the right to own and use fireworks in any way they see is appropriate. In the real world, this has some major issues. Firstly, people find new and novel ways, generally with the assistance of alcohol or drugs, to injure themselves or others with fireworks, which are in reality controlled explosives. Secondly, people are often unable to fund their recovery due to the fact they chose not (or are unable) to pay for health insurance. And more importantly, many of the injured are children. This is all well and good. Email x

Intentcasting an Epic Vision: How to Bootstrap Creative Economy 3.0 Q: How do the Amish raise a barn without money? A: Community, and the social capital that weaves it together. In my husband’s Latvian community, they have a concept similar to barnraising called “talka,” which describes collective volunteer work for the good of society and environment. Several times a year we come together at our camp in the Catskill Mountains, and everybody chips in to maintain the property – clearing branches, building bridges, fixing roofs, painting, and whatever else needs to get done. No one gets paid for it (unless you count food, beer, and bonfires as payment), yet everyone helps. Why? Because we’re invested in ourselves and each other and are stakeholders in our community and believe that preserving and cultivating our culture matters. So. **Let’s intentcast to bootstrap Creative Economy 3.0** What is intentcasting? I came across this concept on Seb Paquet’s blog, Emergent Cities. Intentcasting is deceptively simple to describe. “I want to have a party at my house!” 1.

Perseus Digital Library Pablo Picasso Picasso, Henri Matisse and Marcel Duchamp are regarded as the three artists who most defined the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting, sculpture, printmaking and ceramics.[4][5][6][7] Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a realistic manner through his childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. His work is often categorised into periods. Exceptionally prolific throughout the course of his long life, Picasso achieved universal renown and immense fortune for his revolutionary artistic accomplishments, and became one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art. Early life Pablo Picasso and his sister Lola, c.1889 Picasso showed a passion and a skill for drawing from an early age. Career beginnings Before 1900 Blue Period Rose Period
