Great book but not relevant in today’s world

The fundamentals are all here which have not changed. However the examples throughout the entire book are not so relevant to today’s world. Overall I still really liked it.

Millionaire Next Door

Livre intéressant, composé majoritairement de statistiques. Les études de cas permettent de concrétiser ces statistiques.
