Nitish Kumar broke the mahagathbandhan while seeming to try to bend RJD to his will. All the schmoozing between Trump and Xi hasn't reduced the North Korean nuclear threat. Could we have predicted these outcomes before they actually happened? Yes we could have-not with IQ or EQ, but with 'Game Theoretic Quotient'. A new intelligence, a new way of looking at the world. Game Sutra highlights the underlying strategic considerations of entities as diverse as heads of state, bitcoin miners and CEOs of internet companies to explain their decisive choices. Immerse yourself in its heady mix of cogent fact and smart analysis to develop your 'game theoretic quotient'. Your world will never be the same again.
