  • New Post: Why People Cooperate. It's about a book called "The Evolution of Cooperation." This post is different. It's an example of the kind of blog post new writers should start with. It's short, sweet and to-the-point, so I'd appreciate your feedback. https://t.co/qOnOi4AUDVLink to Tweet

About Book

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.
