About the book
A comprehensive analysis of how globalization, technology, and connectivity shaped the beginning of the 21st century, leveling the playing field between nations and individuals. Thomas L. Friedman argues that ten forces—from the fall of the Berlin Wall to broadband internet—created a world where geographic location matters less for economic success.
With concrete examples and international reporting, Friedman maps the opportunities and challenges of this new reality, offering an essential framework for understanding 21st-century politics, business, and culture.
