What is The world is flat? : a critical analysis of Thomas L. Friedman's New York times bestseller by Thomas Friedman about?

If you have read Thomas L. Friedman's bestseller, The World is Flat, and were awed, you might now want to consider what a professor of anthropology at San Jose State University, Roberto J. Gonzalez, thinks, To awe his readers, Friedman relies upon anecdotes and vignettes from recent trips. He breathlessly recounts visiting booming Asian cities that he portrays as landscapes littered with American logos from IBM, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft and Pizza Hut. Friedman doesn't appear to spend much time outside of golf courses, five-star restaurants, limousines and luxury hotels. His view of the world is consistent with dozens of elites he interviews on his global journey. Ultimately, Friedman's work is little more than advertising. This book's lighthearted style might be amusing were it not for the fact that his subject -- the global economy -- is a matter of life and death for millions. Friedman's words and opinions, ill informed as they are, shape the policies of leaders around the world. Many consider him to be a sophisticated thinker and analyst -- not a propagandist. It is a sobering reminder of the intellectual paralysis gripping our society today. In The World is Flat?, Ronald Aronic
