The language was simple. Easy to understand. I like the fact that the author did not use l too much grammer to confused the readers.

The language that is in the book is very easy to understand. There are no slangs or words that are very big for one to understand. It is a book that was written with normal easy to understand English that almost everyone is familiar with.

the language in this book falls somewhere between easy and difficult to comprehend. While some words may be unfamiliar to those with limited knowledge of business and economics, requiring them to look up definitions, the overall text isn't overly complex.

I would say that this book's language is in the middle of being easy and hard to understand. The material isn't that complicated generally, while several words might be foreign to those with only rudimentary knowledge of business and economics, necessitating definition searches. Because of this—especially considering that it focuses on business-related subjects—I see it as a classic book with a unique standard.

Yes. The language was normal and very easy. I did not expect it to be, but I was shocked at how simplified it was so kudos to the book.

The book's language is clear and concise, making it accessible to a wide range of readers. While the concepts are presented in an academic and historical context, the author's use of straightforward language ensures that the ideas are easily understandable, even for those without a specialized background.

The language is very simple and understandable for entrepreneurs only i guess but for a regular guy it might be challenging to understand it
