Fresh All host Terry Gross interviewed Tom Friedman, who has a new book out on what he called Globlization version 3.0. (Funny how authors these days attached a version number to everything, not just software anymore.)
Basically, Friedman is arguing in his book that the world is flattened by technological advances (i.e. the internet), where individuals become increasingly powerful at what they will be able achieve. I have not read the book yet. But judging from what was talked about duing Terry’s interview, it should be a good read. I read Friedman’s first book on globalization – “The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization” back in 1999. It was filled with good information. The new book could be just as good.
