Great Text. Very understandable mathematical explanations

Considering it as an advanced Microeconomic textbook, I do find mathematical proof in this book very easy to understand. Most importantly, this book gives you both the intuition behind the equations and mathematical explanations for them. The chapter in welfare economics is particularly good. In comparison to other advanced micro text such as Mascolell's Microeconomic Theory and Varian's Microeconomic Analysis, this book certainly has its own place. Varian's attempt to keep his book concise often forces him to skip some steps in mathemtical proof which makes readers who are not good at maths like me hard to follow,though his verbal explanation is very brialliant. And Mascollel's explanation tends to confuse you though it is the most comprehensive book in the market. i believe this book nicely fulfills the gap between these two books.

The best book on microeconomics ever written.

This book is truely amazing. It covers most topics in microeconomics with clarity, rigor,detail and most of all giving the economic intuiton that students need so badly. The best presentation on uncertainty and insurance markets that I have seen so far. This book is all an undergraduate or even a graduate student needs to find his way in the deep waters of microeconomics. A must!
