Title: A truly enjoyable textbook
Review: This was the required text for an intermediate course on microeconomics that I took as an undergraduate. Now that I'm a graduate student curling up withMas-Colell, I miss it dearly. This is a slightly more advanced book than Gregory Mankiw's (also excellent)Principles of Microeconomics, which was my introduction to the subject. Mankiw's book requires only algebra; this one expects you to be familiar with rudimentary calculus, but keeps the math out of the way when it isn't necessary. Still, its emphasis on intuition makes it excellent preparation that will last you a lifetime of economic thinking.Reading this book was a large part of why I decided to study this sort of thing at a graduate level. I hope you'll find it equally inspiring.
