Rock Breaks Scissors: A Practical Guide to Outguessing and Outwitting Almost Everybody

byWilliam Poundstone

William Poundstone uses Rock Breaks Scissors to investigate a Practical Guide to Outguessing and Outwitting Almost Everybody through a carefully framed economic analysis. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of business & economics and psychology. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
