Indirect Reciprocity, Assessment Hardwiring, and Reputation, A Talk with Karl Sigmund
The Edge has an interesting interview with Austrian Mathematician Karl Sigmund on the topic of indirect reciprocity — giving something back not to the person to whom you owe something, but to somebody else in society. I really enjoyed Sigmund’s book Games of Life: Explorations in Ecology, Evolution, and behavior which is an accessible and very enjoyable introduction to many topics surrounding models of cooperation and competition and how they develop. Unfortunately, the 1993 book seems to be out of print.
