The detailed analysis was a bit over my head (not my field), but the graphs and charts DID support and clarify the points and stories the writers (and editor) were telling. I've often seen such 'Third World' entrepreneurship successfully at work in Asia, and it's about time we learned these lessons from the (only materially) poor. Such people are usually, in fact, a delightful, profitable investment!

With all of America's technology and advancements, is there anything that can be learned from third world countries? "Lessons from the Poor: Triumph of the Entrepreneurial Spirit" is a look at the lessons learned by crafty third world entrepreneurs in countries such as Peru, Nigeria, and others whose people have, despite the lack of resources, built thriving companies all their own. A must for anyone who wants to learn from these countries and how their political and economic environment has helped or hindered their businesspeople. "Lessons of the Poor" is a must for business and economics shelves.

Somewhat boring book--lots of facts and figures. But explains capitalism well. I use it for a reference when speaking or writing.

My book came within a couple of days. It was in great condition. Didn't even looked used. I'm very happy with my purchase.

A very good book and easy to understand. It gives you hope and proves that with hard work and enthusiasm everything in business life can be achieved. It lacks a little bit of story telling and it's a bit like an essay paper but it's an exciting book.
