It's not too complex but it's a topic I am not too proficient in. I had to give up on the audiobook and will pick up and an ebook at some point. That way I can search up any word or concept I don't understand.

The language in this book is kind of a mix. There are definitely some words that made me reach for a dictionary, especially when it got into the business and economics stuff. But overall, it wasn't super complicated. I think it's one of those books that sets its own standard because it's focused on a specific subject.

The language in this book is moderately challenging. At the same time, it includes some terms unfamiliar to readers who are less versed in business and economics.

In my view, the language in this book is moderately challenging. The terms needed some explanation, and I appreciated that the author provided a helpful glossary. While the concepts are presented from an academic and historical perspective, the author avoided using unclear language.

Launchpad Republic by Wolk and Landry defies conventional historical narratives, offering a vibrant and engaging exploration of America's entrepreneurial spirit. While exploring the complex interplay of political, legal, and cultural factors that fueled economic growth, the authors skillfully inject vitality into their academic inquiry through compelling anecdotes and real-life business cases. This approach renders the book both erudite and accessible, making it a captivating read for a broad audience. By seamlessly merging insight and storytelling, the authors craft a thought-provoking examination of American entrepreneurship that educates and enthralls.

Although the subject matter isn't overly complicated, it's an area where I lack expertise, so I found the audiobook challenging to follow. I've decided to switch to an ebook instead, which will allow me to look up unfamiliar terms and concepts at my own pace, making it easier to grasp and understand the material.
