「世界是平的」这样的描述，其实是中古欧洲基督教文化的世界观，但被本书作者拿来形容一个没有障碍、是被铲平的竞争环境。继前一本The Lexus and the Olive Tree (凌志汽车和橄榄树)之后，全美国公认最有影响力的新闻工作者Thomas L. Friedman汤马斯?佛里曼又把论点作一个延续与断裂，说明外包事业的盛行，和中国及印度等新兴市场的兴起，以及剥削者与被剥削者的暧昧界线，和恐怖主义的潮流背离性，相信抱持自由贸易主义的读者会在本书找到深刻的共鸣，并且文中多以微观的角度阐述宏观的世界趋向，对于想掌握整个商业趋势或是更了解全球化的影响，世界是平的，这是你不能不知道的下一世纪知识论点。
English Description
This new edition of The World Is Flat is Thomas L. Friedman account of the great changes taking place in our time, as lightning-swift advances in technology and communications put people all over the globe in touch as never before-creating an explosion of wealth in India and China, and challenging the rest of us to run even faster just to stay in place.
This updated and expanded edition features more than a hundred pages of fresh reporting and commentary, drawn from Friedman travels around the world and across the American heartland--from anyplace where the flattening of the world is being felt.
In The World Is Flat, Friedman at once shows "how and why globalization has now shifted into warp drive" (Robert Wright, Slate) and brilliantly demystifies the new flat world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering scene unfolding before their eyes. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, he explains how the flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty-first century; what it means to countries, companies, communities, and individuals; how governments and societies can, and must, adapt; and why terrorists want to stand in the way.
More than ever, The World Is Flat is an essential updates on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.
