Product Description This book teaches microeconomics as a way of looking at the world, using plenty of new applications and examples to demonstrate the theory. Because it uses calculus (only in footnotes), this book is considered to be in the upper mid-range in its mathematical rigor. An optimal balance of theory and applications is maintained by working from the specific to the general—with many lively and interesting examples used as a means of developing economic theory in a careful and rigorous way. A seven-part organization covers numerous topics under the headings of: an introduction to microeconomics, individual choice, production and cost, markets for goods, resource markets and general equilibrium, imperfect competition, and uncertainty and asymmetric information. For individuals trying to apply the theory of microeconomics to the economics of the real world. | ||

The best college textbook on economic theory there is. What is this arrogant social science named economics? Read this and find out; the answer is not at all what politicians, journalists, and lay people think it is. EE&A is admittedly one of the most difficult of the many undergrad texts in economic theory. But it is also unusually well written because Diane Eaton is a professional writer and editor. EE&A also nicely marries two distinct contrasting traditions in economic theory: mathematical microeconomics (Curtis Eaton), and applied price theory (Doug Allen). The authors never lose sight that economics is rightly about human questions and problems, and not about a showy display of elementary mathematics applied to the material side of human life. That this text is not better known is evidence of the shabby state of many USA undergraduate courses. | ||
