written with clarity

This is a book on managerial economics, or as I like to call it "practical microeconomics". It is written with great clarity, and is on undergraduate level understanding. The book assumes you know basic economics and have done a course in calculus: for example, you need to know what partial derivatives are and how to calculate them. Ideally you would have studied some statistics or econometrics as well. Although Wilkinson tries to explain the mathematics as simply and clearly as possible, prior knowledge will benefit you. I found the material very well explained and most topics easy to comprehend as a consequence of it. There are many case studies in each chapter, decent number of graphs and the formulae are not too technical. In terms of clarity the book is on the same level as Mankiw, Blanchard and Barro. In other words, beginner-friendly. In summary this book is a mix of microeconomic theory, econometrics, calculus, and a dash of management theory. It will not teach you anything related to behavioral economics and the like...which I think is abit of a shame on a personal note, because I think consumer behavior is, at the very least, equally relevant as the producer in economic systems.
