世界是平的 The World is Flat [英文完整版]

小時候我常聽爸媽說：「兒子啊，乖乖把飯吃完，因為中國跟印度的小孩沒飯吃。」現在我則說：女兒啊，乖乖把書念完，因為中國跟印度的小孩正等著搶你的飯碗。」
「世界是平的」這樣的描述，其實是中古歐洲基督教文化的世界觀，但被本書作者拿來形容一個沒有障礙、是被鏟平的競爭環境。繼前一本The Lexus and the Olive Tree (淩志汽車和橄欖樹)之後，全美國公認最有影響力的新聞工作者Thomas L. Friedman湯馬斯?佛裏曼又把論點作一個延續與斷裂，說明外包事業的盛行，和中國及印度等新興市場的興起，以及剝削者與被剝削者的曖昧界線，和恐怖主義的潮流背離性，相信抱持自由貿易主義的讀者會在本書找到深刻的共鳴，並且文中多以微觀的角度闡述宏觀的世界趨向，對於想掌握整個商業趨勢或是更瞭解全球化的影響，世界是平的，這是你不能不知道的下一世紀知識論點。

English Description
This new edition of The World Is Flat is Thomas L. Friedman𠏋 account of the great changes taking place in our time, as lightning-swift advances in technology and communications put people all over the globe in touch as never before-creating an explosion of wealth in India and China, and challenging the rest of us to run even faster just to stay in place.
This updated and expanded edition features more than a hundred pages of fresh reporting and commentary, drawn from Friedman𠏋 travels around the world and across the American heartland--from anyplace where the flattening of the world is being felt.
In The World Is Flat, Friedman at once shows "how and why globalization has now shifted into warp drive" (Robert Wright, Slate) and brilliantly demystifies the new flat world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering scene unfolding before their eyes. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, he explains how the flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty-first century; what it means to countries, companies, communities, and individuals; how governments and societies can, and must, adapt; and why terrorists want to stand in the way.
More than ever, The World Is Flat is an essential updates on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.
