When scholars write the history of the world twenty years from now, and they come to the chapter "Y2K to March 2004," what will they say was the most crucial development? The attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and the Iraq war? Or the convergence of technology and events that allowed India, China, and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing, creating an explosion of wealth in the middle classes of the world's two biggest nations, giving them a huge new stake in the success of globalization? And with this "flattening" of the globe, which requires us to run faster in order to stay in place, has the world gotten too small and too fast for human beings and their political systems to adjust in a stable manner?
In this brilliant new book, the award-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman demystifies the brave new world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering global scene unfolding before their eyes. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, Friedman explains how the flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty-first century; what it means to countries, companies, communities, and individuals; and how governments and societies can, and must, adapt. The World Is Flat is the timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.

評分1. 去年夏天,正是最熱的時候,一港姐來京公乾。一天談下來,精疲力竭,口乾舌噪,心情很是不爽。當港姐笑咪咪地說晚上一起吃飯時,我脫口而齣: “不去!” 還是人傢特區的素質高,根本不和我一般見識,一邊說遺憾一邊就遞過來一份包裝異常精美禮品。 ...
評分(一) 再好的東西,如果跟你無關。那麼,這個東西,都隻是生活的八卦,而非必需品。 這也是人們需要忽略一些東西的理由。 人生是復雜和短暫的,我們活得都忙不過來瞭,除瞭愛看熱鬧的天性外,我們的眼界沒有超越我們生活的圈子。 我在讀《世界是平的》(第二版)的時...
