In this brilliant new work, the award-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman demystifies the brave new world, allowing listeners 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 21st 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.

Superb "This is a book that should be read by everyone in this country who is interested in our future and the future of our children. Tom Friedman is a brilliant writer. I have read all of his books and strongly recommend them. Not only does Friedman see the BIG PICTURE on issues, but he has a marvelous sense of humor. It is a fascinating revelation to go along on a ride with him." Reviewer: Betty Sheridan
