In fact, such an unfair outcome need never happen again, and as William Poundstone shows in Gaming the Vote, the solution is lurking right under our noses. In all five cases, the vote was upset by a "spoiler"--a minor candidate who took enough votes away from the most popular candidate to tip the election to someone else.

How to Predict the Unpredictable: The Art of Outsmarting Almost Everyone
ISBN: 9781780747200 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. We are hard-wired to believe that the world is more predictable than it is.

In the 1970s, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky coined the phrase 'representativeness' to describe the psychology of this behaviour. Since then representativeness has been used by auditors to catch people fiddling their tax returns and by hedge fund managers to reap billions from the emotions of small investors. Now Poundstone for the first time makes these techniques fun, easy, and profitable...
