THE WORLD IS FLAT
Friedman provides an overview of his new book The World is Flat,
discussing globalization down to the individual level. He provides
insight into outsourcing and "insourcing" and touches the globalization
of many industries, including retail, shipping, software development,
and the airlines. The talk links the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the
destruction of the World Trade Center as manifestations of the power of
two competing forms of imagination.
