本书基于这样一个理论：经济人试图最大化他在世界商品和服务中的份额，就像一个参与者在一个有许多参与者的游戏中试图最大化他的收益一样。作者指出，个人财富的最大化不是变分学中的一个普通问题，因为个人不控制，甚至可能不知道某些变量。在他们看来，社会博弈的一般理论为经济行为提供了一个简化的概念模型，对这一理论的研究有助于阐明经济学的某些基本概念，例如效用。
THIS book is based on the theory that the economic man attempts to maximize his share of the world's goods and services in the same way that a participant in a game involving many players attempts to maximize his winnings. The authors point out that the maximization of individual wealth is not an ordinary problem in variational calculus, because the individual does not control, and may even be ignorant of, some of the variables. The general theory of social games, in their view, offers a simplified conceptual model of economic behaviour, and a study of that theory can do much to throw light on certain basic concepts of economics, for example, that of utility.
