My guest today is Robert Aumann, the fourth Nobel Prize winner to appear on this podcast. Aumann is an Israeli-American mathematician, and a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences.

• Conflict and cooperation through game theory analysis
• World via his game theory perspective
• Meeting John Nash and Aumann’s early background
• What game theory is trying to accomplish
• The economic definition of rationality
