This book was a very fascinating read for me. I had to give it four out of five stars due to its slowness. Although it has a tremendous amount of information, it was sluggish to read at times. The book was well written and executed. I thought the author’s explanations and examples were solid and found his logic to be interesting. This book would be very good for those that are into the economic field or political aspect of the nation. It is a great educational tool or reference for a school report. I see no reason why it could not be used by an upper level high school student or economics student. I do recommend this book, but wish it is was a little shorter.I must thank both the author and Goodreads for sending this book to me in a giveaway. It was much appreciated and I enjoyed reading it! Thank you.… (more)
