A presentation copy, inscribed by the author ‘To Louis Fischer who also wants to get to the bottom of ‘facts’, sincerely, Oskar Morgenstern Dec 1963’ to the front free endpaper.

A searching book-length essay reflecting Morgenstern’s career-long preoccupation with the predictability of economic phenomena and the general problems of measurement in the social sciences, originally published in 1950 and offered here in a “completely revised” edition, a substantially more comprehensive effort regarding the subject.

Morgernstern is chiefly remembered as a co-developer of game theory through his joint authorship with mathematician John von Neumann of the Theory of Games and Economic Behaviour.
