The view from Evolutionary Game Theory
Game Theory
Game theory is the study of the ways in which interactingchoices of economic agents produce outcomeswith respect to the preferences (or utilities) ofthose agents, where the outcomes in question might have been intendedby none of the agents. The meaning of this statement will not be clearto the non-expert until each of the italicized words and phrases hasbeen explained and featured in some examples. Doing this will be themain business of this article. First, however, we provide somehistorical and philosophical context in order to motivate the readerfor the technical work ahead.

The Game of Oligarchy | Brewster Kahle's Blog
I just invented and played a game today with my family, and it worked great– it was fun and we learned an important lesson. Similar to the game “Monopoly” which shows that one person ends up monopolizing even though you think the rules are “fair,” the game of Oligarchy shows that the “free market” leads inexorably to one person getting all the money and everyone else going broke. And fast.
