      abstract = {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.},
