A Nobel laureate reveals the often surprising rules that govern a vast array of activities--both mundane and life-changing--in which money may play little or no role. If you've ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to college or guided your child into a good kindergarten, asked someone out on a date or been asked out, you've participated in a kind of market.
