The World is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman

This book was recommended by the International Education Council at my university and had been read by our president, so I thought it a good idea to read. I ended up both buying the hardback and listening to it on CDs. This book has created a paradigm shift in my thinking. Friedman brought together a lot of details that I sort of knew and painted a coherent picture of where the world is going. For a while I thought him too capitalistic, too business oriented, but he redeemed himself, as when offering thoughts on the future, he did consider the environment and other issues important to me.
