Yes. It met and even surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend this book. Learning about Uber and taxi was very enlightening.

This book surpassed my expectations, expanding my perspective and providing valuable insights. It offered a comprehensive exploration of the historical context that shaped America's entrepreneurial economy, and insightfully compared it to other nations, which I found particularly fascinating.

Latest Review: From the Top of My Head to the Bottom of My Soul. by Eli L

Post by Dana Youngblood »

My expectations were not met in this book. I had expected more about how entrepreneurs have been successful and how to be successful currently. This book was solely about the history of entrepreneurship and how it is different in America and other countries. I may have misinterpreted the description, and if so, that is my fault.

With increased awareness and understanding, this book improved on what I thought before about the world because I didn't have an exact idea of what would be entailed in it when I read it covers some historical issues on America’s entrepreneurial economy and how they relate to those of other nations, a fact which really interested me.

Seeing that I only recently got this book and have essentially been reading it non-stop all morning i’d say yes. It most certainly has exceeded expectations. Excited to keep reading needless to say.
