Summary

"Foundations of Microeconomics" is a comprehensive textbook designed to introduce readers to the foundational concepts, theories, and applications of microeconomic analysis. We cover a wide range of topics, starting with an introduction to microeconomics and its relevance in understanding individual economic decision-making. The book progresses to explore key concepts such as supply and demand, consumer behavior, production and costs, market structures like perfect competition, monopoly, and monopolistic competition, market failures, externalities, income distribution, inequality, international trade, and globalization.
Each chapter provides a clear and accessible explanation using real-world examples, case studies, and practical applications. For instance, we delve into price elasticity, market equilibrium, and the effects of shifts in supply and demand. We explore utility theory, budget constraints, and consumer choice theory, demonstrating decision-making based on preferences and constraints.
The book also covers advanced topics such as production functions, cost analysis, economies of scale, market power, and the role of government intervention. We discuss globalization's impact on economies, industries, and individuals, highlighting the benefits and challenges of international trade.
Emphasizing critical thinking and analytical skills, each chapter includes review questions, exercises, and problem sets to reinforce learning and facilitate self-assessment. "Foundations of Microeconomics" equips students, educators, and anyone interested in economics with the knowledge and tools to analyze economic phenomena in today’s dynamic global economy.

    The world-renowned economist offers "dourly irreverent analyses of financial debacle from the tulip craze of the seventeenth century to the recent plague of junk bonds." —The Atlantic. 
     
     
     
    With incomparable wisdom, skill, and wit, world-renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith traces the history of the major speculative episodes in our economy over the last three centuries. Exposing the ways in which normally sane people display reckless behavior in pursuit of profit, Galbraith asserts that our "notoriously short" financial memory is what creates the conditions for market collapse. By recognizing these signs and understanding what causes them we can guard against future recessions and have a better hold on our country's (and our own) financial destiny.
