Summary: One of the all time best-sellers, this text is widely used because of its careful, streamlined, and intuitive chapter organization. Case & Fair, present a very precise and simplified microeconomic model first, before introducing all the exceptions and subtleties of a more complex economic world. Only after this simplified model is developed, do the authors give a thorough treatment of market imperfections, externalities, public finance, and international economics.
