Kurzbeschreibung
The Evolution of Cooperation provides valuable insights into the age-old question of whether unforced cooperation is ever possible. Widely praised and much-discussed, this classic book explores how cooperation can emerge in a world of self-seeking egoists-whether superpowers, businesses, or individuals-when there is no central authority to police their actions. The problem of cooperation is central to many different fields. Robert Axelrod recounts the famous computer tournaments in which the cooperative program Tit for Tat recorded its stunning victories, explains its application to a broad spectrum of subjects, and suggests how readers can both apply cooperative principles to their own lives and teach cooperative principles to others.

Sometimes, the individual benefit seems to conflict with the benefit of the community as whole, even though the community includes this very individuum. One such example has been formulated as the Prisonner's Dilemma: two suspects, A and B, are arrested, and kept separated so that they cannot communicate. If they continue to cooperate, they will be both sentenced to one year. However, if suspect A cooperates, but suspect B defects, A is going to be sentenced to five years, and suspect B will be released. Vice versa, if B cooperates and A defects, A will be released and B sentenced to five years. Finally, if both defect, they will both be sentenced to three years each.
It is clear that the best solution for both of them is cooperation. On the other hand, each individual is also tempted to maximize his own individual benefit. And each of them benefits most if he decides to defect, which in turn brings the worst possible outcome for both (six years total). So one-shot Prisonner's Dilemma rarely leads to cooperation. Now, what if the very two chaps are later arrested again? Will they cooperate when given another chance? Or if they know they will face the same situation every five years? Professor Axelrod tested the iterated Prisonner's Dilemma with computer programs, and investigated under which circumstances cooperation can emerge.
The book is nicely scattered with fragments of game theory and examples from world politics. All in all, as Richard Dawkins has commented in the foreword to its British edition, in breathes with optimism, and is a delight to read. Still, it has one problem, and actually shares it with Dawkins: the book reaches its climax right at the beginning. The book starts with a strong and very convincing idea, but later fails to keep the same pace of dynamic. The idea is splendid, but the structure of the book could be enhanced.

This book has a wonderful first chapter that Axelrod repeats throughout the book. Axelrod uses computer simulations to develop game theory and devise strategies that result in collaborative behaiviors. While Axelrod's findings can be applied to other fields, such as politics or interpersonal relationships, it should be noted that Axelrod is dealing with very precisely (and arbitrarily) defined initial conditions and constraints that are not at all gauranteed to exist outside the world of computer simulations. Generally speaking, the first chapter is excellent and offers a ray of hope that collaborative behaiviors can and will evolve on their own; on the other hand, the rest of the book is repetative and highly arbitrary.

This book is a stunningly lucid combination of game theory, computer science, strategy and evolutionary psychology. I always eschew any kind of 'business' book, and encountered this in the course of a computer research project, but it has had great influence on my thinking in a variety of personal and professional fields.
From first principles, and using ingenious empirical techniques, the author extrapolates from a simple so-called 'prisoner's dilemma' (would you betray a friend to save your neck?) right out to some extremely persuasive and general lessons on the conduct of potentially adversarial relationships.
The conclusions he draws are both powerful in their application, and refreshingly humane in what they imply for optimal behaviour in stable societies.
I'd rate this above even Kuhn's 'structure of scientific revolutions' as a piece of nominally scientific writing that has widespread relevance beyond the field for which it was intended.

Good content, but unreadable
The message (basically, "tit-for-tat behavior wins") is important. But the book is 200 pages long (not counting the appendix) and it's repetitive as hell. Lesen Sie weiter...
