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?
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.

評分唉,全书其实可以用一句话概括:先进的技术造成交易的费用下降,从而使全球的分工进一步分化,进而使得个体和小团体在经济中的作用越来越突出,进而造成全球更加激烈的竞争! 谈谈感想好了,三点: 1 最深刻的感受是,两本书的全文都在讲一个观点:先进的技术造成交易的费用...

評分世界是平的。“平”即指“全球化”。 本书的副题是“二十一世纪简史”(A brief history of the twenty first century)。作此书时,本世纪的第五个年头当尚未完结,作者弗里曼就急吼吼地要来个盖棺论定——难怪那许多书评人看不惯他。书评人的另外一个主要批评,是说书中的观...
