Friedman"Review"Friedman hops around the globe and demonstrates a vast range of interview subjects, from peasants to potentates. He ably demonstrates one of the important tenets of journalism: An abstract concept more easily becomes real to readers when it is turned into the aspirations of specific individuals....He also provides comfortable analogies for American readers....Friedman has taken globalization and made it tangible and understandable. It is up to the rest of us to manage it and make it work." "Friedman is a card-carrying global optimist, and he excels when analyzing how a new international system is replacing the old cold-war system." "Simply the best book yet written on globalization." Publisher's noteLooks at globalization from a social, economic, political, and cultural perspective and assesses the impact of this trend both at home and abroad. AnnotationThe Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign-affairs columnist for the New York Times examines how globalization has changed the world economy. He examines the benefits of free-market capitalism, and the need to balance local forces (religious, national, and cultural) with international forces. Friedman's book is the result of his unique access to world leaders in business and government. A New York Times Notable Book for 1999.
