He is regarded as one of the world's leading economists, having made significant contributions in a variety of major fields as well as game theory. He is the author of numerous books, including Dixit/Nalebuff: Thinking Strategically, Dixit/Pindyck: Investment Under Uncertainty, and Dixit/Nalebuff: The Art of Strategy.

Barry J. Nalebuff is the Milton Steinbach Professor at the Yale School of Management. Nalebuff uses game theory in business strategy and is the co-founder of Honest Tea, one of America's fastest-growing companies.

Game theory entails rigorous strategic reasoning. It is the art of anticipating your opponent's next moves while fully aware that your opponent is attempting to do the same to you. Though some aspects of game theory are intuitive, much is counterintuitive, and it can only be mastered by developing a new way of seeing the world. In The Art of Strategy, the authors demonstrate how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game-theory component by using a diverse array of rich case studies from pop culture, TV, movies, sports, politics, and history. Mastering game theory will help you succeed in business and in life, and this lively book is the key to achieving that mastery.
