This book, "People, games and chance", offers a systematic analysis of games of chance and their eternal appeal. Building on insights from history, philosophy, economics, and psychology, it explores why humans in all societies and eras love to challenge 'Lady Luck' — and why lotteries have always been a battleground for ideologies. „People, games and chance“ offers strategic guidance for decision-makers as well as public affairs professionals and anyone who is fascinated by games of chance in politics, business, academia, and civil society.
