托馬斯·弗裏德曼是《紐約時報》的專欄作傢,曾三次贏得普利策奬。在其1999年齣版的經典著作《瞭解全球化:淩誌汽車與橄欖樹》當中,他提齣瞭新科技和全球化與傳統文化的聯係,引發瞭西方學界一場關於全球化問題的大爭論。他認為現在的社會必定抵擋不瞭全球化的浪潮,全球化的趨勢是不可阻擋的。在《世界是平的:21世紀簡史》齣版之前,他已經是美國公認最有影響力的新聞工作者。

The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, Friedman argues, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization ndash; a flattening' of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, levelling the playing field as never before, so that each of us is potentially an equal ndash; and competitor ndash; of the other. The rules of the game have changed forever ndash; but does this death of distance', which requires us all to run faster in order to stay in the same place, mean the world has got too small and too flat too fast for us to adjust? Friedman brilliantly demystifies the exciting, often bewildering, global scene unfolding before our eyes, one which we sense but barely yet understand. The World is Flat is the most timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and its discontents, powerfully illuminated by a world-class writer. In his new chapters: 'If It's Not Happening, It's Because You're Not Doing It' and 'What Happens When We All Have Dog's Hearing?' the author explores both the benefits and disadvantages of the very latest developments in global communication. The emergent popularity of blogging, pod-casting, YouTube and MySpace enable the modern world citizen to broadcast their views to a potential audience of billions, and the proliferation of Internet access to even the poorest communities gives everyone who wants to the tools to address issues of social injustice and inequality. On the other hand the technology that seems to improve communication on a global scale causes it to deteriorate on a local scale. Identifying ours as 'The Age of Interruption', Friedman discusses the annoyance and dangers of BlackBerrys in meeting rooms, hands-free kits in conversation and using a phone or iPod whilst driving. In an age when we are always 'connected' via email or mobile phone how can we hope to concentrate on one thing without interruption? As expected the author has revitalised this new edition of The World Is Flat with timely insights into the nature of our flat world.

評分唉,全書其實可以用一句話概括:先進的技術造成交易的費用下降,從而使全球的分工進一步分化,進而使得個體和小團體在經濟中的作用越來越突齣,進而造成全球更加激烈的競爭! 談談感想好瞭,三點: 1 最深刻的感受是,兩本書的全文都在講一個觀點:先進的技術造成交易的費用...

評分世界是平的,一本據說很火爆的暢銷書。聽說過蠻長時間,但總覺得標題蠻怪:難道到今天還有人懷疑地球不是圓的麼? 於是很居心叵測的懷疑是標題黨作祟,無視之。 直到前段一好友決定再次起航北漂,留下一堆雜物與我,其中便有此書中文版。他說不錯值得一看,友人推薦又是免費之...
