What in the holy name of fuck am I reading?
This piece of shit is 50% advertising for multinationals, 25% applauding outsourcing to India/China, 20% revisionist history and 5% interesting factoids.
Have any of you read this? Does it get better after the first half? I have dropped it for now, but may be convinced to finish it if there's something of value later.
It's globalist trash similar to the work of nations
no because thomas friedman is dumb and consistently wrong.
about 30 years ago he was walking along and looked around and said to himself "gee Tom, a lot of people are talking to each other on cell phones now." and he's written about 30,000 op eds and 5 books about this same theme for the last 3 decades.
It's actually impressive that he can talk so much and say nothing of substance.

It's sub-Freakonomics tier and was more compelling before the financial crisis (published in 05 I think). Consider also that it's targeted at the managerial class. I wouldn't expect many here to find it compelling but I'm not surprised it was well received last decade since it was preaching to the choir.

Buddy, this Thomas (((Friedman))) you're talking about here. Get read on the JQ. Of course he's pushing for jewish globalism and distorting reality/history.

Haha, the people who are actually "conspiring" are jews like (((Friedman))) who control industries that are selling people like the OP a fake version of reality. So who am I conspiring against and why don't you understand the meaning of words?

You do understand that this book hasn't been relevant for at least a decade now, right?

Thomas Friedman is literally Nick Land for normies
