Summary: ATM
Review: Did you (A reader from Taipei, Taiwan ROC) read the chapter before the last one, i guess it's about information economics, also did you read Ch5 fully, it contains a nice explanation for the core, as we clone economy, in the limit only WE will survive... I guess this is what I read from that book, very good book. It is not fair for the authors if you give wrong comment like this.

Summary: No doubt, THE BEST!
Review: Do you really want to understand microeconomics without losing entire days in understanding boring set simbology? This is the book you were looking for! Simple, and accurate at the same time. Fortunately there are still authors that are able to make complicate things simple. I suggest this book to understand better what you can't grasp in other books, say, Mas Colell et al. Not all topics are covered and you should refer to other (boring) books to sort things out, but in the end the rule "small is beatiful" is a winning one. Every student taking a course in microeconomics at post-graduate level should buy this and proudly say "I really know something about microeconomics".

Summary: Dont buy this crap!!!
Review: Dont buy this...! It is EXTREMLY hard to follow, unless you have a math background. The notations are very confusing. It explains concepts mathematically and you are expected to come up with the logic on your own. In my Graduate level class of 20 studing advanced micro, EVERY SINGLE PERSON said they are clueless about what it says. The text is so highlevel to understand. I had to read the very first chapter FIVE times to understand what is says and then I realised that it was explaining something I already know from Intermediate Micro, that indiferrence curves are convex to the origin! So, I would recommend you buy this excellent book "Microeconomic Analysis" by Hal R. Varian or "Microeconomic Theory" by Andreu Mas-Colell, Michael D. Whinston, Jerry R. Green (which costs only a fraction of the cost of this junk...). So, dont waste your time and money of this ...

Summary: The best textbook in micro at this level, 2nd edition!
Review: From now on this design should become a standard. For the first time the fundamental theorems and assumptions of todays micro are not only presented but also discussed with complete(!) proofs. Congratulations especially for your step-by-step exposition of the development of preferences along with their respective axioms. Now going into 2nd round. But when will there be a paperback version, that is more affordable?

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I am a Finance Ph.D. student and I bought this textbook for my Micro class, and I found that this book did a very poor job in explaining the Micro concepts to a student like me with solid math background but little micro one. The authors, for some reason, use a more than difficult language to explain even the simple things. I believe that great teacher is the one who can explain even the most complicated concepts in simple way. Obviously I do not put Jehle- Reny in this teacher category. If you want to get a simple yet meaningful concept explanation, check out Walter Nicholson's book. I highly recommend that book for the introduction to Micro. If you want to buy a Micro textbook, do not take these people's feedbacks instantly. Chances are WE ALL ARE DIFFERENT that we have different opinions, so compare the books and decide for yourself !
Happy hunting !

Summary: You never dissappointed
Review: I am so regretful of knowing this book late.
This book gave me another interest in economic analysis with clear insight, which surely is the foundation of other applications.
I recommend it to you in eagerness to develop analytical mind. Don't miss it this time.

Summary: A Unique Text for the Advanced Student
Review: Rigorous up-to-date text on modern microeconomic theorypresenting all core mathematics, neoclassical theory, game theory and information economics needed to access the modern professional literature.
Students will appreciate the clear writing and student-friendly style.

Summary: I wish I knew about this book before grad micro...
Review: The assigned text in my graduate micro theory class was Mas-Collel/Whinston/Green (MWG), a book that I couldn't wait to get rid of. However, I have a much better appreciation of MWG after having read Jehle and Reny (JR). JR is strong where MWG is weak and vice versa. JR provides a clear, self-contained introduction to key concepts in advanced micromicroeconomic theory but is not comprehensive in its coverage. MWG on the other hand is more terse and requires a greater level of math preparation, but is truly the encyclopedia of micro. Regarding the comments of the disappointed reader from Cambridge MA, it's true that there are not many applications in J&R, but that's not really the point of this book. As the title indicates, this is a theory book. Nicolson's or even Varian's intermediate texts are good places to look for applications. But for grad micro theory, I would recommend reading both JR and MWG, in that order.

Summary: Better that "Microeconomic Analysis" by Hal R. Varian.
Review: This book is better that "Microeconomic Analysis" by Hal R. Varian. I recommend thoroughly this book. Varian's book was better a long time ago, but now, Geoffrey A. Jehle and Philip J. Reny wrote an excellent book, it was written like introduction to PhD courses.

Summary: Real understanding
Review: This book may not cover every topic under the sun in micro, but it covers the essential knowledge in such a way that the student is led to think deeply about how micro theory is put together. The exposition is astoundingly clear and complete. I highly reccommend it.
