The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century

TitleThe World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century
AuthorThomas L. Friedman
Call NumberHM846 .F74 2006
Location2nd Floor Social Sciences
RatingSomewhat Recommended
Book ReviewThis one is a bit hard to rate. On the one hand, I did find it well-written and accessible, and it helped fill in some of the gaps in my knowledge and understanding of global economics and globalism. On the other hand, I strongly disagree with a lot of Friedman's assertions about things, particularly in regards to poverty and non-white U.S. cultures.
