The Hot Hand: The Mystery and Science of Streaks

byBen Cohen

The Hot Hand is Ben Cohen's economic analysis of the Mystery and Science of Streaks. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of business & economics and mathematics. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
