This is one of the most important insights presented since "Future Shock" and "Megatrends." Thomas Friedman presents a clarion call for individuals, businesses and nations facing global dynamics of a scope and speed unparalleled in human history. His perception is brilliant and his argument compelling and thorough. One flaw is his tendency to insert his political agenda. For example, he starts one chapter with a quote from Lyndon Johnson's 'Great Society' speech. This is ironic since Friedman makes such a powerful case for a Great Society requiring that its people be empowered to be full participants in the global juggernaut now occurring. This clashes with a program that was designed to make people feel more comfortable in poverty rather than find a way out. Perhaps he is more focused on Johnson's words than his accomplishments. In spite of that "The World is Flat" is a powerful wake-up call for America--a survival guide in every sense of the term. This is a MUST READ.  for more information click here products you might be interested in recommendations Pages 2008 II twenty-first The Fourth Turning Terror and Consent : The Wars for the Twenty-First Century When the Rivers Run Dry: Water--The Defining Crisis of the ...
