Title: Flat perhaps for 1/3 of the world
Review: Friedman's book is full of great international anecdotes and explanations; however, I was thoroughly disappointed with his view of the flat world. Perhaps it is getting flatter for a few people in the developed world as well as some others in Bangalore and Shanghai- but other than that I was never convinced. Africa, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the other parts of India and China are hardly mentioned at all in this book. There is one sentence he admits that there are three billion in this world who are way behind and will have a difficult time catching up, but other than he doesn't really address those 3 billion people.
