Publisher: Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2023Description: xvii, 434p.ISBN: 9781009161084.Subject(s): MicroeconomicsDDC classification: 338.5 | K131m Summary: Economics helps us to understand that certain slick mechanisms are operating beyond what we see in our daily economic lives.

Written in a chatty, colloquial style, the author explains basic messages and core insights that are usually hidden between the lines. The usefulness of these theories are shown through a number of real-life examples, and in the end, the readers can see that the mathematical models provide deep insights into social justice and philosophy.
