From one of our most perceptive commentators and winner of the National Book Award, a comprehensive look at the new world of globalization, the international system that, more than anything else, is shaping world affairs today.
As the Foreign Affairs columnist for The New York Times , Thomas L. Friedman has traveled the globe, interviewing people from all walks of contemporary life: Brazilian peasants in the Amazon rain forest, new entrepreneurs in Indonesia, Islamic students in Teheran, and the financial wizards on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley.
Now Friedman has drawn on his years on the road to produce an engrossing and original look at globalization. Globalization, he argues, is not just a phenomenon and not just a passing trend. It is the international system that replaced the Cold War system; the new, well-greased, interconnected system: Globalization is the integration of capital, technology, and information across national borders, in a way that is creating a single global market and, to some degreee, a global village. Simply put, one can't possibly understand the morning news or one's own investments without some grasp of the system. Just one example: During the Cold War, we reached for the hot line between the White House and the Kremlin--a symbol that we were all divided but at least the two superpowers were in charge. In the era of globalization, we reach for the Internet--a symbol that we are all connected but nobody is totally in charge.
With vivid stories and a set of original terms and concepts, Friedman offers readers remarkable access to his unique understanding of this new world order, and shows us how to see this new system. He dramatizes the conflict of "the Lexus and the olive tree"--the tension between the globalization system and ancient forces of culture, geography, tradition, and community. He also details the powerful backlash that globalization produces among those who feel brutalized by it, and he spells out what we all need to do to keep the system in balance. Finding the proper balance between the Lexus and the olive tree is the great drama of he globalization era, and the ultimate theme of Friedman's challenging, provocative book--essential reading for all who care about how the world really works.
托馬斯·弗裏德曼是《紐約時報》的專欄作傢,曾三次贏得普利策奬。在其1999年齣版的經典著作《瞭解全球化:淩誌汽車與橄欖樹》當中,他提齣瞭新科技和全球化與傳統文化的聯係,引發瞭西方學界一場關於全球化問題的大爭論。他認為現在的社會必定抵擋不瞭全球化的浪潮,全球化的趨勢是不可阻擋的。在《世界是平的:21世紀簡史》齣版之前,他已經是美國公認最有影響力的新聞工作者。

評分一本书,或是文章,很多则故事,连篇累牍,只阐述一个意思,是少了点,但总比什么都没有来得好吧。 不幸的是:大多数的书,是什么都没讲的。因此这一本,还值得读。
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...

評分不管怎么说,《世界是平的》至少是个成功的出版业营销个案。已经有无数围绕着它的书评和报道,很多人都知道了作者的主要观点:在这个坏消息接连不断的世界上,全球化将给所有愿意跟上这一潮流的人带来机会。这个面向未来的蓝图的确振奋人心,不过,关于全球化的书早已汗牛充栋...
