"One mark of a great book is that it makes you see things in a new way, and Mr. Friedman certainly succeeds in that goal." - Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz
This is an essential update on globalization, its opportunities for individual empowerment, its achievements at lifting millions out of poverty, and its drawbacks - environmental, social, and political - powerfully illuminated by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Lexus and the Olive Tree.
Includes new chapters on how to be a political activist and social entrepreneur in today's "flat" world, and how to manage our reputations and privacy.
