The culmination of forty years of teaching, researching, and advising on political economy, Ben Fine’s Microeconomics offers a clear and concise exposition of mainstream microeconomics from a heterodox perspective. Covering topics from consumer and producer theory to general equilibrium to perfect competition, it sets the emergence and evolution of microeconomics in both its historical and interdisciplinary context. Fine critically exposes the methodological and conceptual content of dominant microeconomic models without sacrificing the technical detail required for those completing a first degree in economics or entering postgraduate study. The result is a book which is sure to establish a strong presence on undergraduate reading lists and in comparative literature on the subject.Ben Fine is Professor of Economics at SOAS, University of London. He is the author of the critical texts, Macroeconomics (with Ourania Dimakou) and Microeconomics (Pluto, 2016), co-author of co-author of Marx's 'Capital' (Pluto, 2016) and co-editor of Beyond the Developmental State: Industrial Policy into the 21st Century (Pluto, 2013). He was awarded both the Deutscher and Myrdal Prizes in 2009."Ben Fine has written the book that I wish I could have read as a graduate student. Its insightful critiques of mainstream theory will be even more important to those of today’s generation of students seeking to cast off the intellectual blinders from their training."(Rod Hill, University of New Brunswick and co-author of The Economics Anti-textbook: A critical thinkers guide to microeconomics.)"Ben Fine has done a splendid job of critically challenging the microeconomic foundations of the new conventional wisdom in a manner accessible to intermediate level students of economics."(Jomo Kwame Sundaram, former Assistant Secretary-General responsible for economic analysis in the United Nations system (2005-2015), recipient of Wassily Leontief Prize for Advancing the Frontiers of Economic Thought (2007).)
