Microeconomics explains the prices you pay, the wages you earn, and the way businesses behave when no one is forcing them to be reasonable. This introduction teaches the whole subject in plain language, and it assumes you are starting from zero.
The chapters build in order, each one resting on the last. Every idea gets an explanation and a real example before any symbols appear, so if you can read a grocery receipt and split a dinner bill, you have enough math to start. The examples come from ordinary life: a shorter checkout line, a canceled streaming subscription, a raise you decided to ask for.
The chapters cover:
- Scarcity, opportunity cost, marginal thinking, the production possibilities frontier, and how incentives quietly change what people do
- Supply and demand, and how a market settles on one price with nobody in charge. You also see what breaks when a price is held too high or too low, which explains ticket scalping and gas station lines
- Elasticity: why raising the price of insulin barely changes what people buy, while raising the price of one soda brand sends shoppers to another shelf
- Consumer choice on a fixed budget, diminishing marginal utility, indifference curves, and the income and substitution effects behind an ordinary shopping trip
- Business costs, the U-shaped average cost curve, sunk costs, economies of scale, and the difference between shutting down for now and exiting for good
- Competitive markets where entry and exit grind profit toward zero, then the opposite case: monopoly pricing, deadweight loss, price discrimination, oligopoly, cartels, and game theory including dominant strategies and Nash equilibrium
- Labor markets, human capital, monopsony employers, unions, and what the evidence actually says about minimum wage laws
- Market failure: externalities, Pigouvian taxes, tradable permits, the Coase theorem, public goods, free riding, adverse selection, and moral hazard
Written for readers starting a first economics course, self-taught learners working without a lecture hall, students reviewing for an AP or introductory exam, and anyone curious about why an airport shop can charge ten dollars for a bottle of water when the corner store can't.
Every chapter ends with discussion questions, and worked example answers let you check your reasoning instead of guessing whether you got it right. A historical timeline traces the subject through Aristotle, Ibn Khaldun, the School of Salamanca, and the arguments that came after, so the ideas arrive with their history attached. A glossary defines every term in one place, and a reading list points toward sensible next steps.
Once you reach the end, you may not necessarily think like a professional economist, and that's okay. The goal is smaller and more useful: the prices around you, the number on your paycheck, and the strange behavior of the businesses you deal with every week stop feeling random.

Right of withdrawal
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
-
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
-
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
-
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;

for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
