Abstract
Microeconomics, also called the science of the markets, is the most productive branch of economics theory and it studies resources allocation and price theory.By economics theory we mean a language or device for deriving and obtaining operationally significant theorems, a way of understanding reality and the behaviour of society. This book actually aims to follow the tradition of other books about the theory of prices, in which prominent authors reflect on the different aspects of pricing in input and output markets. In this book, I have used advanced material for specialised graduate courses in microeconomic theory.
