Proclaiming the advent of "Globalization 3.0," prize-winning New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman points out how new information technology and other trends are "leveling the playing field" for non-Western nations: hence, "the world is flat."
Filling his pages with illustrative anecdotes, Friedman identifies ten world-flattening forces (examples: the fall of the Berlin Wall, the advent of the Internet, and job outsourcing). Then he examines what a "flat world" portends for the U.S., for developing countries, for international corporations, and for geopolitics.
