Honestly, this book was a great for me. I went in not knowing what to expect, but it was much more than I thought it would be. It gave me a whole new understanding of how America's economy came to be and how it compares to others worldwide. I loved seeing the bigger picture and making connections I hadn't thought of before. It was like a whole new world opened up!
