Modern Uncertainty Theories and the Return to Keynes. 330 $aThis book introduces the economic theories that have placed uncertainty at the core of economic discourse. Covering the works of John Maynard Keynes and Frank Knight, as well as those of John von Neumann, Oskar Morgenstern, and Leonard Savage, it reconstructs the complex history of how economists have analyzed uncertainty, as distinct from risk, in the twentieth century. The text delves into the question of the extent to which uncertainty is a measurable entity, focusing on the perspective of those authors who have attempted to demonstrate its irreducibility to risk, with particular regard to Daniel Ellsberg and the ensuing current decision theory. The book will appeal to scholars of the history of economic thought, as well as students of advanced microeconomics, decision theory, game theory, and history of economic thought. 410 0$aSpringer Studies in the History of Economic Thought,$x2662-6101 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aMicroeconomics 606 $aGame theory 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aMicroeconomics 606 $aGame Theory 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aMicroeconomics. 615 0$aGame theory. 615 14$aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aMicroeconomics. 615 24$aGame Theory. 676 $a330.1509 700 $aZappia$b Carlo$077886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911011773603321 996 $aUncertainty in Economics$94400420 997 $aUNINA
