Instead of the quiet cloisters and dark libraries of Cambridge's all-male world, he now ...

Peter Kershaw, in his book "Economic Solutions" exposes this NWO's controlling stockholders to include the Rockefellers, Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers of New York; the Rothschilds of London and Berlin; the Lazard Brothers of Paris; Israel Seiff of Italy; the Kuhn & Loeb Company of Germany; and the Warburgs of Hamburg and Amsterdam, who are earning almost two billion dollars a day in interest as they buy off our dysfunctional Congress and intentionally level this great na...
This textbook connects three vibrant areas at the interface between economics and computer science: algorithmic game theory, computational social choice, and fair division. It thus offers an interdisciplinary treatment of collective decision making from an economic and computational perspective. Part I introduces to algorithmic game theory, focusing on both noncooperative and cooperative game theory. Part II introduces to computational social choice, focusing on both preference aggregation (voting) and judgment aggregation. Part III introduces to fair division, focusing on the division of both a single divisible resource ("cake-cutting") and multiple indivisible and unshareable resources ("multiagent resource allocation"). In all these parts, much weight is given to the algorithmic and complexity-theoretic aspects of problems arising in these areas, and the interconnections between the three parts are of central interest.
