Review # 1 was written on 2007-11-09 00:00:00 Penny Taylor I really do not understand the appeal of Thomas Friedman. I don't think his writing is very good, and I think his political commentary is inane. I cannot believe smart people take this man seriously. My synopsis of standard Friedman socio-economic analysis: I am a genius able to see developments in the world economic order before anyone else. I went to Southeast Asia, because I am a man of adventure with large expense account from a big newspaper. A South Asian man rowed me in a boat. He had a cell phone. Globalization is curing the ills of the world! There, now you don't have to read this stupid book.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-08-26 00:00:00 Charles Heinrich Thomas L. Friedman is a fuck. The copy of this I have has so much highlighter ink in it that the pages look like rainbows and the only reason I took the time to do that is so that I could easily find all the backward and sometimes down right stupid things he said in it. "..the easier it is to fire workers, the more incentive companies have to hire them." What he should have said in other words: flexible labor market = lower wages (and higher profits). "Air power alone couldn't work in Vietnam because a people who are already in the stone age couldn't be bombed back into it." See that was easy. And just so we are clear he supports these ideas and I did not take them out of context. The guy is a soulless huckster one step above Ann Coulter on the evil/stupid scale. Should have been titled The Lexus OR the Olive Branch: Pick One
