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.
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?

评分犹记得 当初美国的“X一代”曾被他们的父兄辈们定义为 浅薄,易变,懒散,不忠诚和没有理想, 同样在我们的父辈中,鲁迅先生也曾说过, “中国少有失败的英雄,少有韧性的反抗, 少有敢单身鏖战的武人,少有敢抚哭叛徒的吊客. 见胜兆则纷纷聚集, 见败兆,则纷纷逃亡.” 七十年过去了, ...
评分题记:我渴望成为你思想上的伙伴,平坦世界中的朋友! —— 不戒 一本书洗了我的脑,书的名字叫《世界是平的》。 读完了《纽约时报》专栏作家托马斯•弗里德曼的这本书,我忍不住问自己:天哪,这家伙是怎样做到的呢?然后,我像那只想吃天鹅肉的赖蛤...
