This exciting new edition follows Professor Nechyba's five primary goals for any microeconomics course by presenting the subject as a way of looking at the world, showing students how and why the world works, how to think more clearly and develop conceptual thinking skills, and by providing a flexible learning style and a roadmap for further study. Each chapter follows the A and B structure developed by Professor Nechyba, allowing students to explore an intuitive approach in Part A and then focus on how the intuitive approach can be represented mathematically in Part B. This edition is also available as a MindTap with additional assessments, a Graph Builder and video graph presentations. It is also available with Aplia, a comprehensive online learning assessment tool with autograded randomised questions to test students' understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 0: Foundational Preliminaries (web-based chapter) Chapter 1: Introduction PART 1: Utility-Maximizing Choice: Consumers, Workers and Savers Chapter 2: A Consumer���s Economic Circumstances Chapter 3: Economic Circumstances in Labour and Financial Markets Chapter 4: Tastes and Indifference Curves Chapter 5: Different Types of Tastes Chapter 6: Doing the Best We Can Chapter 7: Income and Substitution Effects in Consumer Goods Markets Chapter 8: Wealth and Substitution Effects in Labour and Capital Markets Chapter 9: Demand for Goods and Supply of Labour and Capital Chapter 10: Consumer Surplus and Deadweight Loss PART 2: Profit-Maximizing Choice: Producers or Firms Chapter 11: One Input and One Output: A Short-Run Producer Model Chapter 12: Production with Multiple Inputs Chapter 13: Production Decisions in the Short and Long Run PART 3: Competitive Markets and the Invisible Hand Chapter 14: Competitive Market Equilibrium Chapter 15: The Invisible Hand and the First Welfare Theorem Chapter 16: General Equilibrium Chapter 17: Choice and Markets in the Presence of Risk PART 4: Distortions of the Invisible Hand in Competitive Markets Chapter 18: Elasticities, Price-Distorting Policies and Non-Price Rationing Chapter 19: Distortionary Taxes and Subsidies Chapter 20: Prices and Distortions across Markets Chapter 21: Externalities in Competitive Markets Chapter 22: Asymmetric Information in Competitive Markets PART 5: Distortions of the Invisible Hand from Strategic Decisions Chapter 23: Monopoly Chapter 24: Strategic Thinking and Game Theory Chapter 25: Oligopoly Chapter 26: Product Differentiation and Innovation in Markets Chapter 27: Public Goods Chapter 28: Governments and Politics PART 6: Considering How to Make the World a Better Place Chapter 29: What Is Good?
