The world will get rounder soon enough

....by virtue of the increasing scarcity of fossil fuels. Eventually everything will be made locally (each town and hamlet will have its own cobbler, etc.) A veritable nightmare from the microeconomic point of view.
Amru Albeiruti

Motivation at its Finest

"Flat" is not self-help, but as far as motivational books go it's probably the most effective. It's a wake up call to all Americans: we need to stay extremly competative on a global scale because other countries are starving for success. Reread the last sentance, look at the people at your local Wal-Mart, listen to your tech support, and you might get an idea of the kind of situation we are in. It's closer than you think.

Every American should read this!

The World is Flat brings the reader up to speed with what a global economy really means and highlights how far we as a country have fallen behind in regards to education, innovation and other areas critical to the future. The author travels the world and collects true real-life information that would be eye opening for just about anyone. There are other countries who believe that the age of the United States as the ecomomic leader is over and the author explains with facts, not opinion, why they may be right. Freidman goes on to outline what has been suggested, by knowledgeable people from all sectors, to help Americans maintain their leadership position and standard of living. This is a non-partison review of the world and if it was required reading for our politicians the presidential race might be a useful discussion of issues that would truely help our citizens.
