Discussion: The Evolution of Cooperation

Author: Robert Axelrod

Description: In The Evolution of Cooperation, Robert Axelrod explores how cooperation can emerge and persist in a world where individuals might typically act in self-interest. Using the framework of game theory, particularly the prisoner's dilemma, Axelrod examines how individuals, organizations, and even entire societies can develop strategies for cooperation. Through simulations and experiments, he demonstrates that cooperation can be beneficial in the long run, especially when repeated interactions lead to trust and reciprocity.
