This book presents introductory economics (“principles”) material using standard
mathematical tools, including calculus. It is designed for a relatively sophisticated
undergraduate who has not taken a basic university course in economics. It also
contains the standard intermediate microeconomics material and some material that
ought to be standard but is not. The book can easily serve as an intermediate
microeconomics text. The focus of this book is on the conceptual tools and not on fluff.
Most microeconomics texts are mostly fluff and the fluff market is exceedingly overserved
by $100+ texts. In contrast, this book reflects the approach actually adopted by
the majority of economists for understanding economic activity. There are lots of
models and equations and no pictures of economists.
