Finished (Audiobook) "Games People Play" - The Great Courses - Scott Stevens

I found the game theory course "Games People Play" one of "The Great Courses" given by Scott Stevens to be very interesting.

I knew/know little about game theory other than tidbits (Kissenger was into game theory though the Nixon years, partially responsible for the Americans deciding it was in their best interest if the Soviets thought Nixon was nuts, so their nuclear deterrent strategy would be seen as credible), and the sub-text of the John Nash story from the book/movie "A Beautiful Mind".

As I was listening while driving, I lost a little of the detail from the video version, or through the written materials, however, I found the examples and models interesting and compelling.  Stevens did a good job relating the very simple models that were under investigation to larger, real-world scenarios, which made the topic worthwhile.  The models (prisoner's dilemma, chicken etc.) all sound so simple in the abstract, come alive with relevance given real examples.
