5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Text Book - Don't Miss on It, July 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Intermediate Microeconomics: A Modern Approach (Hardcover)

The presentation of the theory is superb - straightforward simple english and to the point, and occassionally laced with humor!!. Many many examples to articulate concepts. The depth of coverage for an intermediate course is clearly sufficient. The book makes very interesting reading. My suggestion to students: read the book with just some basic knowledge of calculus, and a bit of scalar algebra, you will fully agree with all what I said above.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not excellent, March 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Intermediate Microeconomics: A Modern Approach (Hardcover)

This covers most aspects of microeconomics, but with a drawback of lacking details. I think the use of calculus should be incorporated in the main text, not just at the back of the chapters, and i need to refer to his graduate text Microeconomics Analysis for advanced topics. The writer has done an excellent job in explaining economic concepts. Clear, simple. Another good microeconomics text may be price theory and application by Hirshleifer. Also a very good book, but different focus.

This review is from: Intermediate Microeconomics: A Modern Approach (Hardcover)

Easy to read and to understand, this book allows the student in microeconomics learn some complex tricks of economic theory in an easy way. This is the reason why it is adopted in the top 5 brazilian universities as the student's main book on the subject.
