Written in a chatty, colloquial style, the author explains basic messages and core insights that are usually hidden between the lines. The usefulness of these theories are shown through a number of real-life examples, and in the end, the readers can see that the mathematical models provide deep insights into social justice and philosophy. This book helps readers to think like an economist"--
