This document discusses consumer behavior and how changes in income affect consumption. It introduces indifference curves which map levels of satisfaction from different combinations of goods, and how budget constraints shape consumer choice along indifference curves. The document also explains how normal increases in income lead to demanding greater quantities of goods for greater satisfaction, and how some goods are superior while others are inferior depending on if demand for them increases or decreases with more income.
