Who Gets What—and Why: The New Economics of Matchmaking and Market Design is a popular economics book by Alvin E. Roth, a Nobel Prize winning economist known for applying game theory to real allocation problems. The book explains matching markets, settings in which prices alone do not determine outcomes because both sides must choose each other or because money is limited by law, custom, or ethics. Roth uses examples from medical residency placement, kidney exchange, school admissions, college entry, labor markets, online platforms, and dating to show how rules shape who gets access to scarce opportunities. Its purpose is not to defend markets in a narrow ideological sense, but to show that markets are institutions with designs, frictions, incentives, and moral boundaries. Written for general readers, it translates technical ideas from matching theory and market design into practical explanations of why some allocation systems work smoothly while others become congested, unfair, or strategically distorted.
