N2  - This punchy book unites mainline mathematical economics  and sometimes idiosyncratic political economy. Freshness  is brought to the market concept giving general  equilibrium theory a new lease of life, and an opening of  thought on such matters as free trade, globalization and  the environment. Where most theories of general  equilibrium have been based on utility maximizing  traders, Afriat here maintains the view that the topic  essentially is concerned with aggregates and that  anything to do with utility is at best secondary if not  spurious.
