Why read it?

1 author picked Lecture Notes in Microeconomic Theory as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A short presentation of consumer and producer theory (no game theory or contract theory), very rigorous, and with some interesting examples.

Challenging exam exercises at the end of the book. Last but not least, the eBook is available for free from Prof. Ariel Rubinstein’s website.

From Felix's list on advanced microeconomic theory.
