| Why it’s on the list | Ron D. Pate’s short, self-published business book that treats leverage as a general principle rather than a purely financial one — financial, knowledge, technology, relationship and time leverage — aimed at an individual operator looking for untapped opportunities. |
Where I heard about it
- @tylercosgrove — on his list of 25 books he offered to send to Jared Kushner, October 2025 — the odd one out on a list otherwise heavy on financial-crisis history, leverage as a thing to use sitting next to several hundred pages on what happens when it is used badly.
About this edition
Pate runs a business-training organisation and a set of real-estate investment companies in North Carolina, and the book is written in that register: practical and prescriptive, with end-of-chapter questions.
Connections
- Real Estate — the author’s own field, and the source of most of his worked examples.
- Compounding — the underlying idea the book is reaching for.
- Risk — the other half of leverage, which the bubble books on the same list supply.
