Reviews of "Dot-Com to Dot-Bomb"
by Tapan Munroe

“Dot-Com to Dot-Bomb is an excellent summary of what went wrong with the Dot.Com revolution of the 1990s. Written with wit and scholarship by Dr. Tapan Munroe, Dot-Com to Dot-Bomb tells us exactly what we need to do ‘next time’ to ensure the revolution does not consume its founders.”

“Tapan Munroe draws on insights gained during his career as one of California’s eminent economists to help us understand how and why the Dot.com industry grew so fast, how this compares to other boom-bust cycles in history, and what we can learn from it. It is a must-reading for everyone wanting to learn from the past to prepare for the future.”
