A very solid introduction to the world of microeconomics, but it will take me a while to get used to these graphs. Cool to see these principles applied to rent ceilings, inequality, and the labor market 🤓

It was the very first book i read due to my profession . Though it caused bit difficulty to understand because of my lack of skill , it made good beginning . Economics isn't boring as i thought :P

Un libro que permite comprender el funcionamiento de las diferentes estructuras de Mercado, la demanda, la oferta y sus respectivas curvas. Considero que la obra es eximia ya que incluye bastantes ejemplos y ejercicios, por lo que es una gran herramienta de estudio para el análisis de la Microeconomía dentro de la Contaduría y las Finanzas.

Grandes enseñanzas y recuerdos se desprenden de este título, aunque considero que algunos temas están un poco fuera de lugar y de importancia jiji; sin embargo, me ha ayudado a comprender grades aspectos de Derecho Económico y del Derecho de la Competencia, sobre todo los cruces de la Ley General de Competencia Económica y sus respectivos reglamentos con los criterios estrictamente económicos, como lo son los costos junto a los diferentes tipos de poder monopólico. :)

Good real world examples and easy to read. I had a paperback and eBook, they were both really useful for my graduate class.
