Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

Some of the historical details felt a bit dense at times. Adding infographics or timelines might have made these sections easier to digest.

It centers on the cultural, legal, and political forces that have advanced the nation. Although academic in nature, the book is full with relevant anecdotes that skillfully illustrate thematic points using statistics and business anecdotes from well-known brands

I may end up written a review if I should write what I understand. I understand a little history about businesses development, and how big firms affect us as individuals.
