Reading The World is Flat

At the end of last summer, I purchased 3 books with the intent of reading them before my fall semester. I have only finished reading Freakonomics, which I highly recommend to anyone who has read it already. The other book Truth against Logic was a bit of a disappointment. I have finally found time to read Tom Friedman's book The World is Flat, which I really enjoy. The World is Flat is a pager-turner and it echoes many of the things that I have been hearing in classes at MIT - globalization, innovation processes, India, China, etc. I hope to share my thoughts on the book and the issues that it discusses on this blog as I read more of it. For starters, Yoav contributed this link that is critical of Friedman's work.
