Description
The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century by Thomas L. Friedman is a non-fiction work that explores the forces of globalisation and the rapid transformation of the world economy in the early twenty-first century.
Friedman examines how technological advances, digital communication, and global supply chains have “flattened” the world by reducing barriers between countries, companies, and individuals. The book presents updated case studies and real-world examples to illustrate how global connectivity is reshaping work, trade, and opportunity.
Alongside its analysis of economic opportunity and innovation, the book also considers the challenges of globalisation, including environmental strain, inequality, and political instability. It offers a broad, accessible overview of the benefits and risks of an increasingly interconnected world.
