Pretty good in principle, but its limitation is that it is only particularly useful to entrepreneurs specifically. At least the prior title can work in principle for anyone with an income.

There are so many books (and topics) and so little time. I haven't read many economics books, but one book I highly recommend to anyone who invests is The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. I would even go as far as saying don't even begin to think about picking stocks on your own without at least browsing this book first. This, especially considering there are still many people out there who don't know the difference between investing and speculation.
