About this product

Product Information

When scholars write the history of the world twenty years from now, and they come to the chapter "Y2K to March 2004," what will they say was the most crucial development? The attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and the Iraq war? Or the convergence of technology and events that allowed India, China, and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing, creating an explosion of wealth in the middle classes of the world's two biggest nations, giving them a huge new stake in the success of globalization? And with this "flattening" of the globe, which requires us to run faster in order to stay in place, has the world gotten too small and too fast for human beings and their political systems to adjust in a stable manner?In this brilliant new book, the award-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman demystifies the brave new world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering global scene unfolding before their eyes. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, Friedman explains how the flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty-first century; what it means to countries, companies, communities, and individuals; and how governments and societies can, and must, adapt. The World Is Flat is the timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.

  • The playing field has been leveled

    I purchased this book on CD because it was such an interesting topic, that I thought it would really be enjoyable to hear someone who is also excited about the economy and where the US is heading, but the CD fell short because the speaker was just blah! No excitement in his voice, he was nothing like the writer, Friedmen, who in his lectures is very animated and excited about what he discovered. But all in all the content is what is important and he makes awesome comparisons and discoveries about where the US is headed, and how while we were sleeping the world is becoming americanized. It is a powerful message that anyone who is young and in the work force should hear or anyone with children. They should all be made aware that the workforce is ever changing and that outsourcing is not the ...

  • The final word when it comes to Globalization

    Friedman provides an excellent summary of recent changes that have created today's intense global economy. However, his conclusion that this is good for the U.S. - based on anecdotal evidence supplied by outsourcing supporters - is dead wrong. Broader data show massive deterioration in U.S. workers' healthcare and pension coverage, and opportunities to use and develop higher-level skills (eg. software, engineering, production management, technical skills). The most recent data even show a decline in inflation-adjusted incomes. (Not only are the areas outsourced directly impacted, but so are career areas that displaced individuals move into.) Meanwhile, the areas being outsourced continues to grow to now include tutors, and drug trials. Friedman observes that Asian competitors are quick ...

  • the world is flat

    He makes common sense about how the next generation has to know about computer science. He explains the process about eveloution about computers happen. He answers a lot of question about overseas getting ahead of us in education and finance. Been wanting to buy cd but the price always seemed out of reach.

  • Food for Thought

    Besides offering an intereting perspective on glabalism, the book reinforced some of my beliefs, yet made me reconsider others. It has left me contemplating how my current employment fits into the flat world.
