Game Theory as a Model for Business and Business Ethics
本文批判博弈论在商业与伦理中的应用，认为其强化了对可量化结果的破坏性迷恋和虚假竞争感，并倡导一种不可接受的人类行为风格。
Fifty years ago, two Princeton professors established game theory as an important new branch of applied mathematics. Game theory has become a celebrated discipline in its own right, and it now plays a prestigious role in many disciplines, including ethics, due in particular to the neo-Hobbesian thinking of David Gauthier and others. Now it is perched at the edge of business ethics. I believe that it is dangerous and demeaning. It makes us look the wrong way at business, reinforcing a destructive obsession with measurable outcomes and a false sense of competition. It falsely characterizes or insidiously advocates a style of human behavior that is utterly unacceptable. To put the matter quite crudely, a person who actually practiced the form of “rationality” advocated by game theory would be something of a monster.We should not ask for more precision than a subject is capable of giving us. — Aristotle, (384–322 B.C.E.)
