Microeconomics

by Jeffrey M. Perloff

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book.

Microeconomics has become a market leader because Perloff presents theory in the context of real, data-driven examples, and then develops intuition through his hallmark Solved Problems. Readers will gain a practice perspective, seeing how models connect to real-world decisions being made in today’s firms and policy debates.

I would probably consider Mankiw's Principles of Microeconomics as the best textbook on the subject I've come across, but Perloff's is a very close second.
It was chosen by MIT as the main textbook for the Microeconomics online course I followed, and, as the rule goes, when in doubt always trust MIT.
Both Mankiw's and Perloff's are packed with information, and written in a super clear and straightforward way. Perloff is perhaps even more synthetic and to the point.
I can safely recommend one or the other (or both) to anyone who wants to learn the discipline and needs a solid introduction.

Good stuff! The classical economics that one expects from a University of Chicago class. Keynesian views are snuck into class lectures by the professor. I like the small, snarky economic anecdotes the author inserts into the chapters. And the homework problem about the porn industry had me laughing out loud. I recommend this intro text to all those curious about the fundamentals of microeconomics.

Econ is not at all my strong suit.

This book was a bit confusing to me. The sample questions seemed fairly understandable and easy but actual practice I struggled with. There's some tidbits and anecdotes throughout the book that try to keep your interest.

A friendly introduction, almost no maths. Good explanations.
