The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century- Release 2.0 Revised and Updated
A timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by a respected journalist, The World Is Flat demystifies this brave new world and makes sense of the bewildering global scene.
With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, Thomas L. Friedman explains how the flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty-first century and what that means to countries, companies, communities, and individuals, as well as how governments and societies must adapt.
"A brilliantly paced, articulate, and accessible explanation of today's world, The World Is Flat is an ideal title for tech-savvy readers." -- School Library Journal
