Ariel Rubinstein touches the structure imposed on binary relations in daily language, the evolutionary development of the meaning of words, game-theoretical considerations of pragmatics, the language of economic agents and the rhetoric of game theory. These short essays are full of challenging ideas for social scientists that should help to encourage a fundamental rethinking of many of the underlying assumptions in economic theory and game theory. As a postscript two economists, Tilman Borgers (University College London) and Bart Lipman (University of Wisconsin, Madison), and a logician, Johan van Benthem (University of Amsterdam, Institute for Logic, Language and Computation and Stanford University, Center for the Study of Language and Information) offer comments. 410 0$aChurchill lectures in economics. 517 3 $aEconomics & Language 606 $aEconomics$xLanguage 606 $aGame theory 615 0$aEconomics$xLanguage. 615 0$aGame theory. 676 $a330/.01/4 700 $aRubinstein$b Ariel$0120823 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828957803321 996 $aThe economics and language$94057129 997 $aUNINA
