Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Krugman/Wells takes a story-driven approach that focuses on real-world economics at work. The book offers the hallmark clarity and engaging writing style that distinguish Paul Krugman’s work, from his best-selling international economics text to his New York Times best-sellers.  In just one year, Microeconomics has become a leading book and has met with unparalleled student and instructor praise.


About the Author
Paul Krugman is Professor of Economics at Princeton University, USA, where he regularly teaches the principles course. Prior to his current position he taught at Yale, Stanford and MIT. He also spent a year on the staff of the Council of Economics Advisors in 1982-83. His research is mainly in the area of international trade, where he is one of the founders of the 'new trade theory' with its focus on increasing returns and imperfect competition. He also works in international finance, with a concentration in currency crises. In 1991, Krugman received the American Economic Association's John Bates Clark medal. In addition to his teaching and academic research, Krugman writes extensively for non-technical audiences and is a regular op-ed columnist for the New York Times. His book The Great Unravelling: Losing Our Way in the New Century went straight to the top of the Amazon.com bestseller list, while his earlier publications, Peddling Prosperity and The Age of Diminished Expectations have become modern classics. Robin Wells is Researcher in Economics at Princeton University, USA, where she teaches undergraduate courses. She has previously taught at the University of Michigan, the University of Southampton, Stanford and MIT. Her teaching and research focus on the theory of organizations and incentives. She writes regularly for academic journals. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Split," NOT "Excerpt": An Excellent Micro Text, September 7, 2008
By A. O. Rosenberg "Economics Professor" (Mission Viejo, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Samuel Weber's review implies this book is an excerpt; it's not. Microeconomics and macroeconomics are completely different subjects; the courses share only a few introductory chapters (e.g., supply and demand; production possibilities).

Since they're different subjects, in most universities, they're taught by different professors, and students DON'T have the luxury of buying the big "Economics" book and having it last for two courses. I use K/W for micro; I think only one fellow prof uses K/W for macro.

So Mr. Weber's comment is no more true for this book than any other mainstream text.

Some good features of this book:
(1) a separate chapter on decision-making, differentiating discrete from marginal (yes/no from "how much") choice;
(2)choice under uncertainty, including discussion of risk tolerance and insurance;
(3) situations when buyers know more about the product than sellers, or vice versa (issues: "lemons," supervision of workers, warranties);
(4) a chapter on the economics of technology;
(5) interesting stories to start each chapter (such as London's pre-sewer "Great Stink of 1858")
(6) a mainstream focus in spite of Krugman's role as a political/econ

1.0 out of 5 stars Probably great, but excerpt from larger book, November 20, 2006
By Samuel Weber (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Microeconomics (Paperback)
This is probably a very, very good book. However, it turns out that this is simply one-half of the authors' book "Economics" and, currently, the complete book seems to sell for about the same price as this one piece of it! So, be economical -- buy "Economics" instead.
