Subject: RCT/game theory
This is an open question on the subject of game theory.

Can somebody give an example of a *major* social problem for which
game theory provides a better explanation that any other theory.
Beside naming the problem, can you tell us what the other theories
are.

For example, Keynesian economics (based, in part, on Marxist economics)
provided a better explanation of the Great Depression than the one 
offerred by neoclassical economics.
