The World Is Flat: The Globalised World in the Twenty First Century

Thomas Friedman’s international bestseller is the most up-to-date and exciting view yet of today’s new era of globalisation.

In this expanded edition, published for the first time in paperback, he draws on his travels to India, China and the Middle East, and on the explosion of technologies including blogging, online encyclopaedias and podcasting, to show how knowledge and resources are connecting all over the planet as never before.

This ‘flattening’ of the world, he argues, can be a force for good – for business, the environment and people everywhere.
