This version adds material about pure exchange and introduces indifference curves and the Edgeworth box. It uses this structure to introduce simple production and the principle of comparative advantage. The text also includes a chapter on the importance of property rights. Next demand is introduced in the traditional way, followed by monopoly and then oligopoly. Only after this is perfect competition introduced, followed by supply and demand curves. This approach emphasizes the evolution of models and the assumptions that are made under different market structures. Some additional material is also added with producer and consumer surplus and the analysis of trade and trade policies.
