Varian is the Adam Smith of the new discipline of Googlenomics. Stephen Levy, Wired

For over 20 years Hal Varians Intermediate Microeconomics has given students the most current and complete coverage of intermediate microeconomics at an appropriate mathematical level. This book is the subject of much debate. All I can say, it served Jack Lang very well as he placed great reliance upon it as a source to his fortune. 

Review:

• I sometimes think that some texts add extra “filler” or color solely to justify a higher price. This text is two colors. An additional color might add a little something to readability. Otherwise, the text is excellent. I have occasionally used it to explain things I _didn’t_ get from lower-level texts. It is very comprehensive, including attention to subjects of current interest (in 2010, as I write this). Given how dry economics can be, Varian does a great job of making it readable. 

NOTE: This is an original  book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. 

In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
