“One mark of a great book is that it makes you see things in a new way, and Mr. Friedman certainly succeeds in that goal,” the Nobel laureate Joseph E.

Oh my God I feel so alone.
I must be 1 000 000 mails from home.
This seems to be a tragedy.
How could I live in Germany
My another house is burning down
This asters 20th century in love.
This part of Alphaville’s song called Ivory tower mirrors perfectly the soul of this book. I really hate this book and you should hate it too!

I saw the author on a TV interview. In it he mocked those with speech impediments and then laughed. I forget the exact phrase, but he said something like “Whenever America hears about tarrifs they stutter, t t t t t t t t tarrifs. Ha ha.” What poor sense of decency. I hope no children were watching. If the author has no sense of any of the virtues of life, how can his theory be complete. I’ll wait till someone else with human dignity writes a similar book.

Thomas Friedman is a visionary and the premise he puts forth needs to be considered carefully: Can Americans compete on a “flattened playing field”?
You better believe we can ! We are competitors ! That is what we do best ! We can re-tool and re-think and re-search with the best of them ! We are Americans !!

Disgraceful. Normally I don’t even read this kind of trash but when I got the book I thought it was Thomas Sowell not Thomas Friedman. But I slogged through it and am now enlightened enough to save you the frustration of reading it. Unless you are a smelly liberal whose “concern for others” manifests itself in fascism ready to take over the world!
