Microeconomic Theory

David G. Luenberger
Pub: McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, 1995.

From the Preface: This book is intended to serve as a basic textbook in microeconomic theory, primarily at the beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate levels. Like any book at this level, this book has several interacting objectives, all of which are important. Most obvious, of course, is the presentation of the broad range of topics that make up the subject of microeconomics, including the theories of production, welfare, and uncertainty.......

A special technical feature of this book is the introduction of the benefit function and related concepts. This material arises in many portions of the book and serves as a kind of unifying theme.
