Title: Globilization & Flattening
Review: In my estimation Mr. Friedman did three things in this book. He interprets and represents the recent past; he projects the new future, and he attempts to give some answers to the problems which have arisen due to the flattening process. While I thought his book was quite informative, I did not agree with all his solutions.Being an educator, I was particularly interested in the chapter entitled "The Quiet Crisis," which features a discussion of education in the US and our neglect of the fundamentals, and I am in strong agreement with him on that issue.Some of the information regarding US and international companies was quite eye opening, and I enjoyed the various anecdotal comments of the folks he interviewed.Who should read this book? Educators, businessmen, and certainly young people thinking about career choices. Things are changing, and Mr. Friedman's views will help younger folks sort out some of the better paths.
Is the review positive or negative?
