Title: Great Premise but some Overreacting
Review: As usual great stuff from Friedman. He has this knack for distilling and presenting complex issues.I thought he made good points but I read an interesting take on his views by Suzanne Nossel over at DemocracyArsenal.org. She agreed with Friedman for the most part but: "Where I part ways with Friedman is his implicit notion that the competition from India and elsewhere is to be feared: I think we ought to just be energized by the idea that the game is being played harder and faster than ever before, and work on positioning the U.S. to win."Friedman be exaggerating his fear and the potential of India and China to make the rest of us realize the economic risks associated with their rise, but it comes across as a bit much.Still, great book worth the read.
