Why do smart people make predictable mistakes? Why does everyone cooperating make everyone better off - yet no one does it? How can a marketplace of strangers, each looking out for themselves, feed a whole city? And what would a truly fair society look like?

In the fourth book of the First Principles series, Axi travels through time to meet four thinkers who turned these questions into science.

  • Daniel Kahneman reveals that our brains run on two systems - one fast and intuitive, one slow and careful - and that the fast one fools us in ways we can predict.
  • John Nash shows that strategy has hidden rules, and that individually smart choices can lead everyone to a worse place.
  • Adam Smith uncovers the "invisible hand" - how prices quietly coordinate millions of people who never meet.
  • John Rawls asks the deepest question of all: what rules would you choose for a society if you didn't know who you'd be born as?
Like every book in the series, Mind and Society doesn't ask you to memorize answers. It teaches you to think from first principles - to strip a problem down to what must be true and build understanding from the ground up.

Perfect for curious readers ages 11-14, gifted and ambitious young thinkers, and anyone who wants to understand how minds, markets, and societies really work.

Book 4 of First Principles: A Young Thinker's Guide - sixteen thinkers, one method.
