Oskar Morgenstern was a prominent economist and a key figure in the development of game theory. Born on January 24, 1902, in Germany and later moving to the United States, he is best known for co-authoring the influential book "Theory of Games and Economic Behavior" with John von Neumann in 1944. This work laid the foundation for game theory, providing a mathematical framework for analyzing strategic interactions among rational decision-makers.
