Of cuz it is slightly difficult for those who know nothing about economics and not from a STEM background, but after a few years studying since Postgraduate in economics, now reading it again, it is a genius creation.

il servizio è ottimo e il libro è stato recapitato prima del previsto ed in tempi brevissimi.l'unico punto a sfavore è che i prezzi non erano particolarmente convenienti ma credo ciò dipenda dalla disponibilità dei venditori!

5.0 out of 5 stars Der Klassiker
Reviewed in Germany on 13 November 2011

Dieses Buch ist die Standard-Lektüre der Mirkoökonomie. Es schafft es so kurz und knapp wie möglich eine Einführung in ein jeweiliges Themengebiet bzw. Kapitel einzuleiten und dieses dann anhand einer Reihe sehr anschaulicher Beispiele (meistens in Form von Diagrammen oder mathematischen Beweisen [keine Angst man muss lange kein Mathematiker sein um diese zu verstehen;) ]) zu erschließen. Der Autor achtet darauf den Leser nicht mit zu viel Stoff zu überfordern und hält die Kapitel so simpel wie es nur möglich ist, ohne dass der Sinn verloren geht. Das Lesen fällt dementsprechend einem dabei nicht schwer, da auch das Englisch keine besonders hohen Anforderungen an den Leser hat, sondern ein gutes Verhältnis aus Alltags-Englisch und Fachbegriffen bietet. Für die Wahl zwischen der deutschen und englischen Ausgabe, würde ich jedem die Englische empfehlen, da man wirklich kein englisch Experte sein muss und die originale Fassung frei von Interpretations- und Übersetzungsfehlern einer deutschen Auflage ist. Die deutsche Auflage liest sich im Übrigen auch grausig gestelzt. Da geht der ungezwungen lockere Tonus des Autors im Originalen total verloren. Ich wunder mich warum noch niemand dieses Buch bewertet hat, da es von mir eine große Hilfe im Studium war und bis heute zum kurzen Nachschlagen immer noch ist! (Wahrscheinlich weil im Stillschweigen klar ist, dass dieses Buch ein Kauf-Muss darstellt :) )

Fazit: Vollste Empfehlung!

最近のmicroeconomicsを最低限の数学の知識で読めるよう工夫したつくりになっています。
取りあえずこれを一通り読んである程度理解していれば大学院レベルでは厳しいかもしれませんが、教養としてのmicroeconomicsの知識は十分でしょう。
ただ面白くはないですがｗ

A very detailed book full of practical examples regarding every single subject you will encounter in both undergraduate and graduate microeconomics. My only criticism would be that it requires a good existing understanding of math and economics in general in order to fully appreciate the subject matter.
