 | | In the early portraits of Austrian painter and writer Oskar Kokoschka, gestures and miming intensify the psychological penetration of character. | | | The first issue of Der Sturm, published in 1910 as a weekly for literature and criticism, contained drawings by Oskar Kokoschka; the following year, the works of Die Brücke artists were featured; and in... | | | He studied and taught at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts but was dissatisfied because the school omitted study of the human figure, his primary artistic interest. |

| | Such a favorable impression did he create on his colleagues that he was often called "a prince'' though few realized how close to the truth they really were. | | | Despite his persistence as a critic of measurements used in modern economics, Oskar Morgenstern was admired and respected by the members of his profession. | | | Among his many accomplishments was the development of "Game Theory," in concert with his colleague, the brilliant mathematician John von Neumann. |

| | Oskar MORGENSTERN |
| | Oskar Morgenstern was groomed in the Austrian tradition, but was considerably less dogmatic in his tastes. | | | Together, Morgenstern and John von Neumann wrote their famous treatise on the theory of games (1944), which not only launched game theory but also the theory of choice under uncertainty. | | | After Morgenstern was dismissed by the Nazis in 1938, he moved on to Princeton, where he finally met von Neumann. |

| | This paper, elegant though it is, might have remained a footnote to the history of mathematics were it not for collaboration of von Neumann with Oskar Morgenstern in the early '40s. | | | Morgenstern's research project consisted of himself assisted by Maurice Peston, Tom Whitin, and Ed Zabel, who concentrated on areas of operations research such as inventory theory, but did not work on game theory as such. | | | And so, in the summer of 1948, Gale, Kuhn, and Tucker taught each other the elements of game theory. |

| | Together, von Neumann and Morgenstern revived and mathematically structured the idea that individuals appear to be choosing among alternatives with probabilistic outcomes to maximize the expected amount of some measure of value termed "utility." This made clearer Knight's concept of risk. | | | Partly because of the enormous interest generated by their book, game theory has since been applied to economics, law, political science, and sociology. | | | The theory of games had been studied before, but after von Neumann and Morgenstern it received far more attention. |

| | The von Neumann-Morgenstern Axiomatization of Expected Utility |
| | One of von Neumann and Morgenstern's major contributions to economics more generally was to show that if an agent has preferences defined over lotteries, then there is a utility function U: that assigns a utility to every lottery p | | | Yet what von Neumann and Morgenstern suggest is precisely the opposite: people have utility from lotteries and not apples! | | | Of course, if lotteries are merely distributions, it might not seem to make sense that a person would "prefer" a particular distribution to another on its own. |

| | What Morgenstern and von Neumann argued - and also what theorist Robert Wright has argued - is that looking back on human history, the moments when our world has made the greatest social and economic progress, are those moments when new technologies came along that permit or encourage new, richer forms of non zero-sum interaction. | | | It was nearly half a century ago that two social scientists named John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern looked back on the history of the human race and came up with a new organizing principle that they called "game theory." And I think this game theory has a unique meaning for us here today. | | | When we work together to create new opportunity, we all can win. |

| | Before the evolution of game theory, the study of economic behavior had long been dominated by the theory of perfect competition, which assumes that there are so many participants that no single buyer or seller needs to be concerned about the actions of any other participant. | | | In their 1944 path-breaking book, "The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior," Princeton economists John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern showed how consequences could change if participants anticipated the likely reaction of others and acted accordingly. | | | Schelling used game theory to explain how the Cold War could be prevented from turning into a hot war waged at the nuclear level. |
