Abstract
Thomas Friedman is, primarily, a columnist for the New York Times. Lately, his newspaper work has focused on the Bush administration and the war in the Middle East. He writes incisive, critical, analytical columns that ask questions about the way our country is handling itself in the rest of the world.
How is it, then, that he seems not to have heard of the rest of the world, or been introduced to the theory of challenging ideas? In his book The world is flat, he claims to address "Globalization 3.0"--according to him, the wave of globalization in which technology is and will continue to be the engine of all individuals becoming able to "act globally [p. 11];" that is, to have access to resources and services around the world and to succeed within and around them. A better title for the book might have been The United States, China, and India are flat, as the rest of the world's countries never really make it into the book.
