- Introduction: the dance of the meta-axioms and its pivotal role in modern economics -- Rational conflict (on the impossibility of a determinate theory of costly disagreement) -- Unity is strength (it is also the cause of indeterminate wage and employment trades union targets) -- No bluffs please, we are economists (why bluffs and other subversive acts preclude determinate game theoretical analyses) -- Bargaining by rules of thumb (when strategic indeterminacy forces the rational negotiator to fall back on rules of thumb) -- Marxists and the Sirens' song (when disgruntled Marxists reach for game theory's toolbox they get more than they bargained for) -- A theory of solidarity (why indeterminacy is a prerequisite for genuine solidarity) -- The power of what others think -- The social foundations of corruption (on the indeterminate power of what others think) -- Evolving morals in the labatory -- Evolving domination in the labatory -- On the distinction between evolution and history -- Conclusion.
