The case for why America industrialized like it did when compared with other economies like China is an interesting one. For a start, it has the biggest economy in the world among other unique attributes. This is a book I'd enjoy reading. Thanks for the review.

Normally, for me, if you ask me which country has an entrepreneurial edge, I would say it is China. I would want to know what makes America a frontier when it comes to entrepreneur.
