Why the President Should Read This Book
If you have an MBA or even some basic business experience, you would read this book and think “Yeah, I guess that’s a very high-level and summarized view of what someone who gets an MBA would learn. Not exactly enough to help you run a business, but a good overview of MBA course curriculum.” On the other hand, if you’re a politician who never went to business school and has never run a business, you might find it incredibly educational and eye-opening. I’m afraid many of our politicians need to be educated on the bare bones basics of business and economics, and this book does that job.
