Text and Notes for Economics

The introductory first chapter from the textbook "Microeconomics in Words" is available free through this link. From the publisher's web site, "This book demystifies microeconomic analyses by showing how they depend on simplifying assumptions and ethical judgments that could be made differently. [...] To make the material more accessible and to provide context for the ideas, the book adopts a word-based rather than mathematical approach and uses many examples from literary classics." The book is freely available in digital form from libraries that subscribe to Oxford Scholarship Online.
