As a Harvard MBA with several start-ups under my belt in good times and bad, I found this book quite refreshing. While most business books take 200 pages […] this one contains kernels of wisdom in nearly each paragraph, and packs a wallop in a short, tight read. Arthur Zwern, Serial Entrepreneur.

I loved this book! Rupert Hart's book Recession Storming is chock-full of practical, insightful and resourceful tips for helping your company thrive during an economic or sector-based downturn.
