β¦ Synopsis
Professions are granted autonomy by society, to regulate their own affairs. In return for the economic benefits autonomy grants to professions, society expects professions to act in a socially responsible manner. This paper presents a game-theoretic analysis of the relationship between society and professions, which shows that the relationship is unstable in the face of opportunities for professions to renege on the "social contract." It also shows how periodic controversies regarding the degree to which professionals act in the "public interest" are expected to occur periodically, and how they are resolved.

## Abstract We give a simple gameβtheoretic proof of Silver's theorem that every analytic set is Ramsey. A set __P__ of subsets of Ο is called Ramsey if there exists an infinite set __H__ such that either all infinite subsets of __H__ are in __P__ or all out of __P.__ Our proof clarifies a strong c
