Shelling's Theory of Group Behavior

The economist thomas shelling became fascinated by the connections between the motivations of individuals and the group dynamics that emerged from those motivations. As he stood in the wings with a microphone being clipped to his lapel, he couldn't see a single person in the lecture. The arrangement was voluntary and could only reflect the preferences of the audience. Shelling's work had inspired stanley cubrics classic black comedy of nuclear armageddon, doctor stranglov.
