Biography
Samiran Banerjee is Professor of Pedagogy in the Department of Economics at Emory University in Atlanta, USA.
Praise for the first edition:
"This beautifully constructed text conveys the conceptual and practical tools of modern microeconomics with clarity, graphical lucidity, and satisfying mathematical rigor -- that is, no hand-waving, no ostentation. Amidst a plethora of graphically intensive but substantively thin microeconomics texts, this book stands out as modern, applicable, and intellectually satisfying. I'm excited to share it with my students." — David Autor, Ford Professor of Economics, MIT
“There is a strange beauty to basic economic theory. That by using a few facts and pure reason, one can get a comprehensive view of an economy is a wondrous experience that I would recommend to anyone aspiring to be an economist or to take economics apart. Samiran Banerjee’s book is an excellent example of this — an elegant, no-nonsense introduction to microeconomic theory that takes the reader all the way from the early breakthroughs in industrial organization and general equilibrium in the nineteenth century to contemporary game theory.” — Kaushik Basu, Professor of Economics and C. Marks Professor, Cornell University; former Chief Economist of the World Bank
