While the language used in the book was simple and clear, I struggled to grasp the concepts and issues presented because they were unfamiliar to me and outside my usual realm of knowledge.

Despite being written in an academic style, the language was fairly simple to understand. I don't really understand the concepts because I'm not that interested in business or economics. If we are unaware of the genuine meanings behind the terminology used in the book, it will be difficult for us to understand what is being conveyed. Despite my efforts are to delve further into the meanings, they progress slowly.

In my view, the language used in this book strikes a balance between accessibility and complexity. Although some terms may be unfamiliar to readers without a strong background in business and economics, requiring occasional reference to a dictionary, the overall text remains engaging and understandable.

Although some of the words that can be used may be considered unfamiliar to those with little prior knowledge on business and economics, the reader may be forced to look up for the meaning of some of the words, the text is not overly complicated.

I believe that the language in this book is between easy and difficult to comprehend. While some words may be unfamiliar to those with limited knowledge of business and economics, they are not overly complex. Hence, I regard it as a classic literary work with a unique standard, particularly due to its emphasis on business-related subjects.

While the subject matter isn't overly complicated, I must admit that it's not exactly my area of expertise either. I found myself struggling to keep up.

The language used in this book is not too complex but I am not familiar with some words used in it. And the book also educates me more about business and economics.

Yes it was relatively easy to understand. I had to use the dictionary for just very few words. It was great.
