A New Edition of the Phenomenal #1 Bestseller
"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," the Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz wrote in The
New York Times reviewing The World Is Flat in 2005. In this
new edition, Thomas L. Friedman includes fresh stories and
insights to help us understand the flattening of the world.
Weaving new information into his overall thesis, and
answering the questions he has been most frequently asked
by parents across the country, this third edition also
includes two new chapters--on how to be a political
activist and social entrepreneur in a flat world; and on
the more troubling question of how to manage our
reputations and privacy in a world where we are all
becoming publishers and public figures.
The World Is Flat 3.0 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.
