On the Truly Noncooperative Game of Life on Earth: Darwin, Hardin, & Ostrom's Nontrivial Errors

Matt Funk

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper introduces a game-theoretical framework for The Problem of Sustainable Economic Development, axioms which help clarify the problem itself, and, reductio ad absurdum, falsify many widely-held economic, evolutionary, and ecological principles. This brief communiqué lays the foundation for evolutionary stable economic development and survival strategies – strategies which foster international cooperation, global threat mitigation, food & energy security, long-distance dispersibility, and thus, ultimately, the long-term survival of the human species.

Keywords: sustainable economic development; tragedy of the commons; noncooperative games; natural selection; global threats; food security; national security; human survival (search for similar items in EconPapers)
