I also read Friedman’s “The World is Flat” only recently amidst the ambiance of despondency set in by the recession. Friedman seemed to be sanguine giving an impression that everything would fall in place because the world has flattened and whatever has not been so, they will in due course. Time vindicated otherwise.

Otherwise the book is a page-turner. A general purpose book has been presented with the readability of a fiction. It is highly informative, cogently argued and it leaves impact on the readers.

I’ve reviewed the book on my blog. You may have a look.
