An innovative short microeconomics text that begins with the optimizing individual, proceeds to an introduction of game theory, and ends with the material on competitive markets usually taught at the beginning of a Principles of Microeconomics course. I used the text, with moderate success, to teach an honors section of Principles that also included a selection of classroom experiments from the Bergstrom and Miller text. I also used selected chapters as a supplement to a more traditional Principles class.
Adopting the text wholesale may be difficult in a course that is required to cover the standard material found in, e.g., Mankiw, and it will probably need to be combined with other resources taking a more traditional approach. However, it could be a perfect fit for a course that instead applied the theory introduced in the text to relevant policy questions.
