“Friedman includes fresh stories and insights to help us understand the flattening of the world. …[It’s] an essential update on globalization, its opportunities for individual empowerment, its achievements at lifting millions out of poverty, and its drawbacks – environmental, social, and political, powerfully illuminated by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author.”

“Perhaps the greatest single work on globalization… [it’s been] extensively updated and added to since its publication in 1995.”
