H ARSANYI. In the short period of 1950 - 53, John Nash published four brilliant papers ([35], [37], [38], [39]), in which he made at least three fundamentally important contributions to game theory: (1) He introduced the distinction between cooperative and non-cooperative games.

Von Neumann and Morgenstern have developed a very fruitful theory of two-person zero-sum games in their book Theory of Games and Economic Be- havior. This book also contains a theory of n-person games of a type which we would call cooperative.
BY JOHN F. NASH, JR.* PRINCETON UNIVERSITY Communicated by S. Lefschetz, November 16, 1949 One may define a concept of an n-person game in which each player has a finite set of pure strategies and in which a definite set of payments to the n players corresponds to each n-tuple of pure strategies, one strategy

the late 40’s and early 50’s was a period of excitement in game theory. The discipline had broken out of its cocoon and was testing its wings. Giants walked the earth. At Princeton, John Nash laid the groundwork for the general non-cooperative theory and for cooperative bargaining theory.
In 1950, John Nash contributed a remarkable one-page PNAS article that defined and characterized a notion of equilibrium for n-person games. This notion, now called the ‘‘Nash equilibrium,’’ has been widely applied and adapted in economics and other behav-ioral sciences.

Nash (1950b) formally defined an equilibrium of a noncooperative game to be a profile of strategies, one for each player in the game, such that each player's strategy maximizes his expected utility payoff against the given strategies of the other players.
