| Industry reviews | |
| "Friedman is a card-carrying global optimist, and he excels when analyzing how a new international system is replacing the old cold-war system." Business Week - Christopher A. Farrell (04/26/1999) "Simply the best book yet written on globalization." Schwartz "Friedman hops around the globe and demonstrates a vast range of interview subjects, from peasants to potentates. He ably demonstrates one of the important tenets of journalism: An abstract concept more easily becomes real to readers when it is turned into the aspirations of specific individuals....He also provides comfortable analogies for American readers....Friedman has taken globalization and made it tangible and understandable. It is up to the rest of us to manage it and make it work." IntellectualCapital.com (05/20/1999) | |
