Great insight into the fine financial institution by the founder himself, giving great inside perspective towards building a successful organization which is faithful to the customers and leader in innovation in the industry. Charles Schwab shares his professional journey with ups and downs in running the company with great advice to entrepreneurs who can learn from his experiences. A thoroughly engaging book with facets of great leadership examples.

While the author has done a lot of research on many countries economics in writing this book, some events changed the course of what was foreseen in the book and eventually several of the predictions made in the book did not come true as the author anticipated. However I commend the authors deep research and his depth of understanding global economics and interplay with social and political scenarios I empathize with him that it’s truly difficult to predict the breakout nations since there is constant change in the global economic and political paradigm. While some countries like Turkey, Nigeria, Sri Lanka were predicted to do well they struggled at the end of the decade. Much later than this book was written the global coronavirus pandemic blew all bets into oblivion and many a country suffered. Only now few years after the pandemic few nations are able to recover economically better than the others. The slowdown in China eventually has caught up to it and India under new government has done better than the author anticipated. This book is a succinct lesson in economics and history but based on the principles alone not all outcomes stand as predicted.
