(Heckner 2008) is an agile, splendid and rigorous microeconomics book coproduced from a student and a university teacher aspiring creating a new genre of microeconomics texts. The result is a positively original and didactically skillful exposition conjugated with academic precision and exhaustiveness.


There is everything there is in whatever basic macroeconomics' manual, written not for other teachers but for students (or other fields' scholars) wanting to reason and exercise on concepts, not only to memorise them. From it, one may go directly through Varian, Intermediate Macroeconomics.
