Title: More poorly researched generalizing by Friedman
Review: Friedman somehow feels qualified to make broad generalizations about the 'flattening of the world' based upon a mere 60 hours of interviews. He bases the title of his book on a statement from an Indian CEO--hardly representative of the world population he superficially claims to represent. Several careful academic studies have challenged Friedman's ill-supported arguments. For a more thorough critique, see: "Why America's Top Pundits Are Wrong: Anthropologists Talk Back" (California Series in Public Anthropology, 13) by Catherine Besteman (Editor), Hugh Gusterson (Editor).
