本书全面而独特地介绍了现代微观经济学。它采用综合方法，将经济学的主要发现置于更广泛的背景下。它从哲学的角度批判性地反思理论，并将其与社会科学中的方法进行比较，同时强调对法律体系和商业实践设计的影响。

本书面向本科生，提供简短的例子和全面的案例研究，帮助他们掌握理论的现实意义。因此，它适合以实用但技术上精确的方式教授微观经济学，也适合对经济主流进行批判性评论。从社会组织经济活动的原因和方式开始，从制度角度分析了各种市场在缓解稀缺性和实现分配目标方面的潜力和局限性。

第二版系统地扩展了决策理论，包括风险和不确定性下的传统决策理论和行为经济学章节，以及介绍神经科学、进化心理学和叙事心理学发现的章节。此外，还有理论补充，以及更新的案例研究和示例——从贸易战到流行病和气候危机。

配套练习册的新版本包含大量练习，从基本的多项选择题到具有挑战性的数学问题和案例研究。





Description:
This textbook provides a comprehensive and unique introduction to modern microeconomics. It adopts an integrative approach, positioning the main findings of economics in a broader context. It critically reflects on theories from a philosophical standpoint and compares them to approaches found in the social sciences, while at the same time highlighting the implications for the design of legal systems and business practices.
Intended for undergraduate students, the book presents brief examples and comprehensive case studies to help them grasp the real-world implications of the theories. As such, it is suitable for an applied, yet technically precise approach to teaching microeconomics, as well as for a critical review of the economic mainstream. Starting from the question as to why and how societies organize economic activity, it analyzes the potential and limitations of various types of market with regard to alleviating scarcity and achieving distributive objectives, from an institutional perspective.

This second edition systematically expands on decision theory by including chapters on traditional decision theory under risk and uncertainty, and on behavioral economics, as well as a chapter presenting findings from the neurosciences, evolutionary psychology, and narrative psychology. Furthermore, there are theoretical additions, along with updated case studies and examples – from trade wars to pandemics and the climate crisis.
A new edition of the companion workbook features a wealth of exercises, ranging from basic multiple-choice questions to challenging mathematical problems and case studies, is also available.
