Good review. Tom Friedman was in Taiwan yesterday at invite of Roc President Ma, and TLF told the lecture of Taiwanese government officials in the Presidential Office meeting hall:"I’m gonna tell you a secret. Don’t let anybody else know,” Friedmansaid. “There are too many Americans in the world today.”It is a blessing that so many people in the world can live likeAmericans, Friedman said, but “the good Lord did not design our planetfor this many Americans.”see FULL STORY AND LINK TO TAIPEI TIMES HEREhttp://northwardho.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-see-b...

Great review, I'll probably give this a read. I haven't been a big fan of Friedman's in the past. His arguments seem at times anecdotal. He doesn't have the scientific rigor of authors that he is trying to mimic like the freakonomics people or Malcolm Gladwell. He also seems self serving in pushing the “flat” meme. Interesting how he transitioned from a middle east correspondent to a commentator on economics, I think he is trying to get a nobel prize like the other nytimes columnist Paul Krugman.
