Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - New lipstick on a old pig!
A transparent attempt to justify the new colonialism. In the 16th century it was the great nations of Europe, in the 21st it is the multinational corporation. It is still exploitation of the haves by the have-nots, just a lot of new lipstick on the same old pig!


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Interesting, but overly optimistic
I think it's too optimistic for today's world. I mean, geez, how long ago was this written? So far, things aren't getting better like he seemed to think they would. It's all good for India but sucks for the U.S. Except he acts like it's good for all of us.

Forget the Cinnabon. Name me a herd animal that hunts. Name me one.

-By the end--and I'm not joking here--we are meant to understand that the flat world is a giant ice-cream sundae that is more beef than sizzle, in which everyone can fit his hose into his fire hydrant, and in ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wow! We Need to Change.
Purchaed as a gift, but plan to read, also. I know we will be changed by it.
