The World Is Flat: The Globalized World in the Twenty-First Century - Thryft

Globalization redefines competition and connectivity.

Picture the world as a level playing field where technology connects you to opportunities but also pits you against a global workforce. "The World is Flat" offers that perspective. It's perfect for you if you're curious about how rapid technological advances are shaping our society and economy, and what it means for you as an individual to navigate this interconnected world. Thomas Friedman weaves a compelling narrative that not only explores these dramatic shifts but also serves as a guide to understanding and adapting to them.

Description

The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, Friedman argues, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization - a flattening of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, leveling the playing field as never before. The rules of the game have changed forever. Friedman brilliantly demystifies the global scene unfolding before our eyes, exploring both the benefits and disadvantages of the latest developments in global communication. The book provides a timely and essential update on globalization, powerfully illuminated by a world-class writer.
