Witztum's text is a robust and challenging introduction to the key principles of economics. It delivers a comprehensive and focused view of the logical core of economic analysis. Presented in a clear and accessible form, the content is nonetheless sufficiently developed to take students beyond mere fundamentals, teaching them to apply economic theories and models to recognisable, real life
examples. The book is therefore able to prepare students for further study of economics rather than to simply acquaint them with basic concepts.
The numerous exercises, questions and model answers are designed to help students better understand the relationship between models and reality. Its pure and clean, no nonsense approach quickly takes the reader to this point of understanding.

Readership: There are introductory courses in economics at almost all level one undergraduate programmes in the social sciences as well as in professional courses, like MBA, at a graduate level. This book is aimed at the more able and mature students who are willing to put in effort in order to properly understand the language of economics with all its promise and limitations. For those courses where the objective is to teach students how to think as economists, this book will work as a core text. It will also work as supplementary reading for those courses where understanding economic reasoning is a secondary objective.
