"Good economic analysis requires understanding of how to apply models to the world. This book strikes the right balance between technique and economic relevance. The authors lead students through just enough analytical tools to be able to understand and then apply economic models to real economic problems. By focusing on the essentials this book makes economics accessible to students from all backgrounds. Its strength lies in the brevity and clarity of its exposition. At no point is there anything extraneous, yet the all is covered."

"The second edition improves on what was already an outstanding introductory microeconomics textbook. A particular strength of the book is how the presentation of the material highlights the power of economic models for helping us understand the world around us. The new chapters on policy and applications show students how to apply what they have learnt. There is nothing extraneous in this book. A mastery of this content will provide students with almost all of the microeconomics tools of analysis they will need for the rest of their academic and professional careers. I recommend this for any introductory microeconomics or business economics course."

"Economic thought is vital to understanding individuals and their interaction within societies. This textbook provides a set of tools for students to understand markets and analyze the decisions made by consumers, businesses and governments. The exposition is concise and precise, presenting fundamental techniques and insights in a way that is accessible to students new to the discipline, giving a good balance of mathematical rigour and verbal explanation. I used the first edition to great success and will use this new edition too. I highly recommend it."
