Why read it?

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

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.
