Why read it?

This is a widely used book in introduction to microeconomics courses in colleges around the world, from the Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman.

The book assumes no algebra or calculus, other than elementary arithmetic, thus being appropriate for students from different backgrounds.

Each chapter is well motivated with real-life problems and data, followed by a basic, intuitive, explanation of how microeconomics helps us model and understand the tradeoff that individuals or firms face in that setting.

Highly recommended for students with little math background.
