I liked how extensive the book is. It covers a lot about business. It is one thing to write about entrepreneur and a lot of other related content, and it is another to actually have a lot of depth and cover a list of extensive topics. I liked that most about the book.

The casual discussion in the book is what I enjoyed the most. A subject that seems technical and needs some prior knowledge becomes more approachable.  As a result, it speaks to a larger audience.

I liked the book's comprehensive examination of America's entrepreneurial history and its ability to draw parallels between historical events and modern challenges. The insights into innovation, property rights, and entrepreneurial competition were particularly enlightening for policymakers and business leaders.

I like that the book contains facts and none of what is discussed in it is twisted for promotion. It just does what it says it will do in its description.

Latest Review: Launchpad Republic by Howard Wolk and John Landry

Post by Christine Catarino »

This book was filled with examples of various entrepreneurial successes and perhaps some failures. At the beginning of the book, Howard Wolk and John Landry dove into how Uber started here in the U.S., some of the obstacles thrown their way via red tape, entering other markets, and how they were affected by their global competition. Midway through the book, I was fascinated to read about Alexander Hamilton and his vision for the need for industrial development.

The author's historical record of America's entrepreneurial culture, spanning from precolonial times to the present, was well-assembled. The author used easier language that was understandable to all. The case studies of large, small, startup, and established entrepreneurial endeavors were carefully selected, and they were a perfect fit for the issues the author was covering.
