A textbook and a classic in its seventh edition. Quite comprehensive and readable. My favourite was chapter 15.7 - "Investments in human capital". I'm from Austria, and here it isn't common knowledge that you have to invest time and money into getting an education, and that this human capital has to pay off. We also lack the understanding, that a degree is essentially a mean of communication for communicating quality to the employer. This textbook covers both points.
The last two chapter, "17. Ma

This book helped me understand some microeconomics concepts that were very superficially explained in the other book recommended for the course. I think it's a perfect book for students in courses of an intermediate level, for it goes a little deeper in the analyses of the themes than the books for initial levels, but not as deep as a master degree would require. The examples and the graphics are very helpful, making the understanding of the topics much easier. Still, it doesn't explore the calc ...more

I can't imagine a better book for someone new to these concepts! It was great, both the theoretical part (math really) as well as all the examples throughout. Win! Win! Win! Bloody expensive though, but at least I get econ now.

Let me know if you want to borrow it. All 3 pounds of this book, yikes.

Its a great book for starters. As a person who know almost nothing about microeconomic theories this book was a great read as it explains everything but by simplifying it upto a level that anybody can understand. After almost every important theories there are follow through examples which are incredibly helpful.

This is a great book to start studying Microeconomics. The authors express clearly the concepts and give very interesting examples. My only complaint is that, after investing a lot of money in this book, you still cannot access the answers for the exercises. This is a pity.

C'est simplement le meilleur manuel de microéconomie, comme souvent avec les manuels Américains. Il est plus long que les manuels écrits par des profs Français et donc plus chers, mais il est très pédagogique et utilise souvent une méthode inductive (comme souvent avec les manuels Américains) ce qui permet d'introduire facilement des concepts obscurs. Je le recommande chaudement. ...more

It's a good book for intermediate level, but lack of some topics like Intertemporal Choices. I think you should use this book with 'Intermediate Microeconomics and Its Application by Varian', its the best one for that level. ...more

We don't get that much mileage out of this book in 15.010. The descriptions are good, the layout it nice, but I think I may have been just as well-served by not getting the book in the first place. ...more
