I would definitely recommend this book for AP students in high school who are studying economics, or college majors that are economics and/or business majors. Reading this as a 30 year old agricultural teacher did give me a different out look and perspective on the entrepreneurial aspect of the US. I think it also gave me personally, a better understanding and foundation to guide some of my students who are already starting their own business and taking on the financial responsibilities. Overall, I think anyone would benefit from this book, but those that are actually interested/involved with business should definitely read it.

I'd recommend the book to entrepreneurs or anyone interested in grasping the essence of entrepreneurship. Not every aspect may resonate with non-Americans, but I still believe it's worth exploring. After all, there's no harm in expanding one's knowledge.
