From the Publisher
Romans Pancs has written a text that applies state-of-the-art microeconomic analysis to big topics that are usually considered to be on the periphery of economic theory, including morality, the jungle, socialism, exploitation, artificial intelligence, and Kantian cooperation. His imaginative approach will stimulate advanced undergraduates looking for something new, and will surely enlighten all who study it.

Standard intermediate micro textbooks make students into experts in the mechanical techniques of problem solving and accomplish little more than brainwashing them with traditional concepts. This thought-provoking book is 'only' for students who wish to question the fundamentals underlying microeconomics before calculating an equilibrium.
