Is the world flat again?
Friedman, the New York Times foreign affairs columnist, has written another must read book for people interested in global economic trends. This book builds on his popular The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization to describe what he calls Globalization 3.0 which started around 2000 and replaces Globalization 2.0 (the industrial revolution) as the defining economic driver for the 21st century. Friedman describes how the world has become more “flat” as people and countries have been connected through the Internet and a massive global supply chain. He also explores the challenges for some of the world’s 3 billion people in the “unflattened” world and how we need to help them participate in the benefits brought by globalization.Read full book review
