Microeconomics: A Synthesis of Modern and Neoclassical Theory

Integrates mathematical, verbal (providing intuition for mathematical results), and graphical (illustrating the result for special two-variable cases) approaches in the exposition of theory. Includes modern economic theory topics not usually presented in microeconomics texts, such as preference theory, economic externalities and Pareto optimality, public commodities, and theory of social choice and collective rationality. Contains historical notes, suggested readings, and a variety of problems and exercises.
