The evolution of cooperation
Book • 1984
The Evolution of Cooperation, written by Robert Axelrod, delves into the theory of how cooperation can emerge and persist in a world of egoists without central authority.
The book uses game theory, particularly the Prisoner's Dilemma, and evolutionary biology to explain how cooperation can arise through strategies such as TIT-FOR-TAT.
Axelrod's work highlights that cooperation can be self-policing through reciprocity and does not require trust, rationality, or central authority.
The book also discusses the importance of the durability of relationships and the clustering of individuals with cooperative strategies in facilitating cooperation.
