Shinnfans, I’m in the middle (page 260) of Thomas Friedman’s landmark book, The World is Flat. I read Blink, which was interesting. I’m reading Freakonomics, which is also interesting. But both are interesting in a merely trivial manner. The World is Flat is riveting because of its relevance. The new shape of the world is something that the young need to worry about in order to stay employable in the future. And it’s something that the old should worry about on behalf of their kids. Shocking, revealing, interesting. Here’s what was happening in the rest of the world while America stared at our collective navel.
Read it soon. If you’ve read it, comment here!
