A review by tzurky
The World is Flat: The Globalized World in the Twenty-first Century by Thomas L. Friedman
4.0
The author's enthusiasm is difficult to stomach at times, as is his insistence on beating the reader over the head with how great his terminology is.
On the plus side: the book is pretty comprehensive, if perhaps shallow, and the cases are interesting. For someone like me who was aware of the broad trends but not the details it was an interesting read and the timeline of events described is certainly compelling.
On the whole I must say I liked reading it. If taken with the requisite grain of salt and merely as a personal opinion piece instead of gospel it is certainly a good book.
