Introductory Microeconomics examines how individuals, households and firms make decisions about the allocation of scarce resources. It introduces fundamental concepts such as supply and demand, market equilibrium, elasticity, consumer choice, and production costs. Students learn how different market structures including perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition and oligopoly affect prices, output and economic efficiency. The text also explores labor markets, income distribution, market failures, and the role of government policies in correcting inefficiencies. By applying economic reasoning to real-world issues, the book helps readers understand how incentives and individual choices shape economic outcomes.
