Companion Book
"I'm delighted that you and your colleagues are
taking on Tom Friedman and his superficial collection of 'folk stories.' It is a
terrible book. Thanks for spreading the word." -- Chuck Howe, Prof Emeritus of
Economics, University of Colorado at Boulder
Description The World is Flat, is
dangerous. Friedman makes "arguments
by assertion," assertions based not on documented facts, but on stories from
friends and elite CEOs he visits --not even one footnote reference. Yet his
book
influences business and government leaders around the globe. By what it leaves
out, it does nothing more than misinform millions of people and our leaders. The World is Flat? Aronica and Ramdoo show that the
world isn't flat; it's tilted in favor of unfettered global
corporations that go the ends of the earth to exploit cheap labor, lax
environmental regulations and tax breaks. This concise
monograph brings clarity to many of Friedman's misconceptions, and explores nine
key issues that Friedman largely ignores. To create a fair and balanced exploration of
globalization, the authors cite the work of experts that Friedman fails to
incorporate, including Nobel laureate and former Chief Economist at the World
Bank, Dr. Joseph Stiglitz. Refreshingly, you can now gain new insights into
globalization without weeding through Friedman's almost 600 pages of
ill-informed, grandiloquent prose and bafflegab.
