Professor Deodhar explains the dynamics of pricing with respect to demand and supply and various market structures like perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition and oligopoly through engaging everyday examples and case studies. With illustrative diagrams and interactive examples, Why I am Paying More is a highly useful and accessible book on microeconomics for both the uninitiated and the seasoned. A must-buy for students, professionals, and laypersons alike.
