Book Presentation: The World Is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman
Book Abstract
The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century is Friedman’s explanation of the brave new world facing us; a world that although recently started, is growing at a rapid pace never seen before in history. The new, “flat” world is one where technology and collaborative economies have created an entirely new playing field. It will change all of our theories of economies, politics and jobs. It will increase competition and require not only an emphasis on new skills sets, but a much more self-reliant, creative and innovative mindset.
The book is written as a series of discoveries Friedman reflects on following his journeys around the world in an attempt to redefine the core of globalization. Through his own experiences and those of friends, interview subjects and acquaintances, Friedman personalizes the steps and landmarks that have put us where we are and shows both the positive and negative impacts of flattening to America and the rest of the world. He also shares insight into what he sees as the choices that must be made to maintain relevance in the new flat world, how the same tools flattening the world are being used for good as well as bad and the dangers that can “unflatten” the world with devastating effects.
