Need to prepare for your micro exams and are short of time for all your unclear issues?
Have doubts about the validity of microeconomic theory but are unsure whether you are right?
Then this new textbook might be helpful to you. What makes it special is the combination of three approaches:


  • A very comprehensive, concise and no-nonsense explanation of all the microeconomic terms and theories that you are expected to know in your exams or for enrolment in more advanced courses. The Crash Course comprises 200 pages plus three optional chapters introducing you to all important economists and schools of economic thought.
  • The first chapter-by-chapter critique of microeconomic theory. It explains all the shortcomings, inconsistencies and non-scientific assumptions of micro theory.
  • Surveys and reviews of the most important critical papers and books written by eminent mainstream economists, which are never mentioned by instructors.

Whether you use it for review, as an introductory textbook or as a supplement to other materials, this book is very likely to shorten the time you need to prepare for micro exams and to help you articulate your doubts about the scientific nature and relevance of microeconomic theory.
