description: In The World Is Flat, award-winning journalist Thomas Friedman demystifies our brave new world, allowing readers to make sense of the often bewildering global scene unfolding before our eyes. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, Friedman explains how the "flattening" of the world happened at the dawn of the 21st century, what it means to countries, companies, communities, and individuals, and how governments and societies can, and must, adapt. The World Is Flat is a timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.
