Author: Alvin E. Roth
A Nobel laureate reveals the often surprising rules that govern a vast array of activities — both mundane and life-changing — in which money may play little or no role. If you’ve ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to college or guided your child into a good kindergarten, asked someone out on a date or been asked out, you’ve participated in a kind of market. In Who Gets What — And Why, Roth reveals the matching markets hidden around us and shows how to recognise a good match and make smarter, more confident decisions.
