La génesis de los mercados

Being immersed in a market economy means that the mechanism that channels the transactions that take place between the various agents that act in it is the set of markets existing in said economy. In turn, a market is nothing more than the juxtaposition of the behavior of the applicants with that of the suppliers. Consequently, understanding the fundamentals of the market -that is, where the demand presented by consumers and the supply displayed by companies comes from- is of vital importance, both from a theoretical point of view and because of the crucial role that markets play. in people's daily lives. This manual studies, analytically and graphically, the genesis of perfectly competitive markets. The objective is to show clearly that the demand arises from the preferences of the consumers towards the products with which they satisfy their needs (restricted by their purchasing possibilities), while the supply comes from the production technology available to the companies ( with its financial limitations to acquire inputs with which to obtain the output). The book consists of ten chapters and in each one of them the theoretical exposition is combined with a wide casuistry of parameterized exercises, solved step by step and accompanied by the pertinent economic intuitions. This double theoretical and practical approach makes the book a complete guide to rigorously understand the genesis of a competitive market and the results it gives rise to.
