Finite and Infinite Games
James P. Carse
The book presents a philosophical exploration of two types of games: finite games, which are played for the purpose of winning and have clear endpoints, and infinite games, which are played for the purpose of continuing the play and have no fixed rules or boundaries. It uses this dichotomy to delve into how these concepts apply to various aspects of human life, including politics, society, and personal relationships, encouraging a shift from a mindset of competition to one of endless possibility.
