"Mr. Roth's work has been to discover the most efficient and equitable methods of matching and implement them in the world. He writes with verve and style... Who Gets What--and Why  is a pleasure to read." -- Wall Street Journal   "In his fluent and accessible book, Mr Roth vividly describes the successes of market design."  --Economist.com   "In this fascinating, often surprising book, Alvin Roth guides us through the jungle of modern life, pointing to the many markets that are hidden in plain view all around us. He teaches us how markets work--and fail--and how we can build better ones." -- Dan Ariely , author of  Predictably Irrational  and  The Honest Truth About Dishonesty "If you have a market you want to work better, Al Roth is your man.  His new book is fun and compelling--social science at its best." --N. Gregory Mankiw,  Robert M. Beren Professor of Economics, Harvard University and author of  Principles of Economics "In a book filled with wit, charm, common sense and uncommon wisdom, Roth challenges traditional economics by emphasizing that markets can often be freer and work much better when they are governed by carefully chosen rules!" --Paul Milgrom , the Shirley and Leonard Ely Professor of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University "The co-recipient of the 2012 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences introduces what he calls the new economics of matchmaking and market design....Roth's case studies illustrate how problems that obstruct successful matches can be identified economically and overcome....An exciting practical approach to economics that enables both individuals and institutions to achieve their goals without running afoul of the profit motive." --STARRED  Kirkus Reviews "Practical as well as theoretical. Understanding how matching markets operate can help readers navigate them more effectively. A solid match for readers in general economics and business collections."  -- Library Journal, "Mr. Roth's work has been to discover the most efficient and equitable methods of matching and implement them in the world.

Synopsis
"In his fluent and accessible book, Mr. Roth vividly describes the successes of market design." -- Economist.com "In this fascinating, often surprising book, Alvin Roth guides us through the jungles of modern life, pointing to the many markets that are hidden in plain view all around us." -- Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational and The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty Most of the study of economics deals with commodity markets, where the price of a good connects sellers and buyers. But what about other kinds of "goods," like a spot in the Yale freshman class or a position at Google? If you've ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to college or guided your child into a good kindergarten, asked someone out on a date or been asked out, you've participated in a kind of market. This is the territory of matching markets, where "sellers" and "buyers" must choose each other, and price isn't the only factor determining who gets what. In Who Gets What--and Why, Nobel laureate Alvin E. Roth reveals the matching markets hidden around us and shows us how to recognize a good match and make smarter, more confident decisions.

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

    Positive experience but could be better. Item description was accurate but, it was shipped in a simple bag with no carton or any protection. The bag was broken in places and the USPS bent the book like it was a newspaper and ruined what was an excellent looking book. That was clearly the USPS fault but a "Do Not Bend" or carton would help next time. Otherwise accurate description, value, condition and Fast shipping. I'm a returning customer and will keep buying from World of Books
