Recensioner i media

‘This innovative book will open students’ eyes to important critical views and alternative policy perspectives that are not found in standard textbooks on intermediate micro theory. The book starts with foundational questions about conventional assumptions regarding rational behavior (do consumers really “maximize utility”?), price determination (are prices actually set by “supply-and-demand”?), and the market system (is it truly an “efficient” allocative mechanism?). The book then addresses a series of current issues including the origins of inequality, the regulation of big business, labor and environmental policies, and the role of the government in the economy more broadly. This volume, which brings together contributions by leading experts in the field, promises to enliven and even revolutionize the teaching of microeconomics for years to come.’
