Good Lord I overestimated my interest in firms and prices and which insurance is better and all of that and I already started from a very reluctant state. I regard this book + course as Churchill regards his battles: something to see to the very end

Arm yourself with a marker, skip the introductory chapter and you might yet survive the "literary lard" of American and US-inspired textbooks.

It's not all bad; I owe it some fond epiphanies. It's more technical than most textbooks, which means that I finally found out why demand "shifts" (bollocks). Of course, if you try to say that it's a simplified price-and-quantity graphical representation of a multi-variable function and a change in one of the variables other than p or Q results in a different simplified representation, people act as if you go "well, there's a mirror there, the magician isn't actually flying".

Being told that demand "shifts", what, like a restless chicken? That's been messing with my head for years.

Fewer stars for obvious math mistakes, lack of consistency in variable names and overall lack of clarity which might have something to do with microeconomics itself.

It's pretty good

oh how will I miss the weird jokes and quotations...on the other side: This book sucks as much at explaining math, as I do learning it.
