When reviewing this book, I assigned it a rating of 3 out of 4 and 4 out of 5 because I found it to be an engaging read with an interesting perspective presented by the author. However, I must express my disagreement with certain aspects put forth in the book.

Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that the United States has predominantly followed a capitalist model throughout its history. This economic system, characterized by private ownership and profit-seeking, has been deeply embedded in the nation's fabric. While exceptions and variations exist, capitalism has remained the driving force behind the country's development.

It is crucial to understand that my observation about the United States' capitalistic model is not a criticism, but rather a statement of fact. The soul of a nation is shaped by its formation, and in the case of the United States, it was established with a strong emphasis on business and commerce. The nation's historical trajectory and its founding principles have heavily influenced its growth and development.
In-depth analysis could have encompassed topics such as the evolution of capitalism in the United States, the role of regulation and government intervention, the impact of capitalism on social welfare and inequality, and the interplay between capitalism and democracy. These areas of exploration would have allowed readers to gain a more nuanced understanding of the complexities inherent in the United States' economic system.

It is not a criticism of the USA, but it is a fact because a nation's soul is in its making. How that nation was formed confines how it will grow and its trajectory. History sets the trajectory of a nation, and in the case of the United States, its capitalist model has been the prevailing force throughout its development. It is important to understand that the country's origins, deeply rooted in business and commerce, have shaped its economic system. While acknowledging this historical reality, I believe the book would have benefited from a deeper and more detailed analysis, exploring the multifaceted dimensions of the United States' capitalistic model. But still, I am being greedy but, this book is very very interesting.
