Michael Suk-Young Chwe studies how people coordinate their actions when each person wants to participate only if enough others do. He finds that while coordination sometimes occurs through evolution or adaptation, it is often the result of explicit communication. Chwe's recent papers, including Communication and Coordination in Social Networks, Structure and Strategy in Collective Action, and Strategic Reliability of Communication Networks, investigate how communication networks can resolve coordination problems.&nbsp;
Michael Suk-Young Chwe teaches game theory in the political science department at UCLA. He started watching Austenadaptations with his kids, which naturally led to reading the novels. The connections between Austen's novels and game theory were too strong and numerous to ignore, and thus he was moved to write "Jane Austen, Game Theorist."
His most recent book, Jane Austen: Game Theorist, finds common ground between the study of people's choices and the writing of the early 19th-century English novelist. Other areas of interest include jury decision-making and television advertising. Chwe has served on the University of Chicago and New York University faculty. He teaches courses on game theory for graduates and undergraduates.

On October 4, 2021, Andrew Yang announced that he was leaving the Democratic Party to become independent, faulting what he characterized as a system stuck in increasing polarization and saying that he is "more comfortable trying to fix the system than being a part of it." Later in October 2021, Yang founded the Forward Party – a centrist political action committee and party.

In 'What's Mine Is Yours', Rachel Botsman explores the concept of collaborative consumption. She suggests that sharing and swapping goods and services can create a more sustainable and community-focused economy. It's a fresh perspective that might make you rethink your consumption habits.

The Power of Collaborative Consumption

Botsman argues that trust is becoming a new form of currency in our digital age. She believes that online reviews and ratings are shaping our decisions and behaviors. So, next time you're shopping online, take a look at the reviews - they're more influential than you might think.

Trust is the New Currency

The book also explores the rise of peer-to-peer marketplaces like Airbnb and Uber. These platforms are changing the way we do business, making it easier for individuals to offer services directly to others. It's a trend that's worth keeping an eye on.

The Rise of Peer-to-Peer Marketplaces

Botsman's research shows that this shift towards sharing and swapping is disrupting traditional businesses. Companies that can't adapt to this new model may struggle to survive. If you're a business owner, it's a wake-up call to start thinking about how you can embrace the sharing economy.

The Impact on Traditional Businesses

Finally, 'What's Mine Is Yours' offers a glimpse into the future of consumption. Botsman believes that as we continue to share and swap, we'll see a decline in unnecessary consumption and waste. It's a compelling vision that could inspire you to make changes in your own life.

The Future of Consumption
