General Competitive Analysis – Kenneth Arrow & F.H. HahnA seminal work in economic theory, this book presents a rigorous and systematic study of general equilibrium analysis. Arrow and Hahn explore the mathematical foundations of competitive markets, examining existence, stability, and efficiency of equilibria. It remains a cornerstone text for understanding how individual choices and market structures interact within the framework of modern economics.
