Book Description
An introduction to basic microeconomic principles, this text aims to keep students focused on learning and applying the central ideas used in economic analysis. It is intended to be used as a a study "tool" for students and a complement to, rather than a substitute for, the instructor. Pedagogy and applications are designed to maintain a focus on the fundamentals and allow flexibility for instructors to bring in additional material as they choose. In-text Internet links and a dedicated Web site provide opportunities and exercises for students to access and analyze additional real-world economic applications.

Simple, but Biased, Oct 11 2010
By That One Guy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Microeconomics: Principles and Applications (Paperback)
(Note: A unbiased review is below. Skip this part if you just want to know how the textbook works.)Perhaps it is just because it is Microeconomics, or because I come from California, but this text leans towards the conservative side. They obviously portray the government's role in the economy in a negative light, by suggesting examples that would only make the government look bad, such as increases in taxes, or putting in price floors/ceilings in wrong spots. Also, it promotes more conservative ideas, such as subsidies, but of course, it would not say where that money would come from. If you are on the fence politically, it would most likely drift you towards the Republican spectrum.(Start from here if you want an unbiased review.)
This text is pretty good for those starting out, wanting to learn the basics. If you have already taken Macroeconomics, sorry, because it's gonna feel like review for the first couple of chapters. The main thing that makes this textbook good is that the layout feels like this: Definition --> Examples (lots of them) and some more stuff. It's not boring at all, since the main emphasis is on the scenarios proposed. All in all, it is quite understandable.

excellent for review, Mar 31 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Microeconomics: Principles and Applications : Mastery Study Guide (Paperback)
In this study guide, Hall and Lieberman provide an excellent accompaniment to their brilliant text. All the exercises are very clear, as is the answer key, which gives one the opportunity to see where one went wrong in a particular concept. The scope of the study guide is exactly the same as that of the book. Basically, if you can do everything in the guide, you have mastered their concepts.
