Of course, my prior is that economics is a systematized way of talking about the world that imports assumptions that have nothing to do with what people want to say about the world. And, of course, I am right yet again, haha. The anti-textbook model where it completely describes the standard telling and then complicates it is really furtive for this sort of topic—the entire point of discussing economics descriptively is to address the issues obscured by the standard telling like power and other imperfect competition conditions. At least, when the point isn't indoctrinating people in capitalist propaganda.

A law book written this way could be a really useful tool...
