Abstract
To me, economics has always been a fascinating subject. On one level, it deals with the economy and how it works, which is one of the central features of our lives today. On another level, it deals with how we make decisions, or at least should make decisions at the level of the individual, firm or society. These two themes will recur throughout this book in differing guises and are central to economics.
