Abstract
Homo economicus - a term for a totally made-up conceptual model - is continually facing a number of situations that challenge his/her rationality Starting from the generic framework of game theory we discuss a variety of well-known puzzling situations arising from the real world of economics, telecommunications, human society and politics. The paper main theme is that problem solving can be provided by critical thinking and rationality The available toolkit - quantitative analytics, i.e., metrics (or measurement unit), probability and statistics, scientific method and logic, engineering approach - allows us to frame, face and solve a large amount of problems that will affect the ongoing digital transformation, now and in the future. Supporting examples are from game theory and paradoxical situations, which include economic, social and voting dilemmas.Pubblicazioni consigliate
