From one of our most perceptive commentators and winner of the National Book Award, a comprehensive look at the new world of globalization, the international system that, more than anything else, is shaping world affairs today.
As the Foreign Affairs columnist for The New York Times , Thomas L. Friedman has traveled the globe, interviewing people from all walks of contemporary life: Brazilian peasants in the Amazon rain forest, new entrepreneurs in Indonesia, Islamic students in Teheran, and the financial wizards on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley.
Now Friedman has drawn on his years on the road to produce an engrossing and original look at globalization. Globalization, he argues, is not just a phenomenon and not just a passing trend. It is the international system that replaced the Cold War system; the new, well-greased, interconnected system: Globalization is the integration of capital, technology, and information across national borders, in a way that is creating a single global market and, to some degreee, a global village. Simply put, one can't possibly understand the morning news or one's own investments without some grasp of the system. Just one example: During the Cold War, we reached for the hot line between the White House and the Kremlin--a symbol that we were all divided but at least the two superpowers were in charge. In the era of globalization, we reach for the Internet--a symbol that we are all connected but nobody is totally in charge.
With vivid stories and a set of original terms and concepts, Friedman offers readers remarkable access to his unique understanding of this new world order, and shows us how to see this new system. He dramatizes the conflict of "the Lexus and the olive tree"--the tension between the globalization system and ancient forces of culture, geography, tradition, and community. He also details the powerful backlash that globalization produces among those who feel brutalized by it, and he spells out what we all need to do to keep the system in balance. Finding the proper balance between the Lexus and the olive tree is the great drama of he globalization era, and the ultimate theme of Friedman's challenging, provocative book--essential reading for all who care about how the world really works.
托馬斯·弗裏德曼是《紐約時報》的專欄作傢,曾三次贏得普利策奬。在其1999年齣版的經典著作《瞭解全球化:淩誌汽車與橄欖樹》當中,他提齣瞭新科技和全球化與傳統文化的聯係,引發瞭西方學界一場關於全球化問題的大爭論。他認為現在的社會必定抵擋不瞭全球化的浪潮,全球化的趨勢是不可阻擋的。在《世界是平的:21世紀簡史》齣版之前,他已經是美國公認最有影響力的新聞工作者。

評分他怎麼這麼墨跡呢……真心讀不下去瞭。其實就講瞭lexus和olive tree,科技與文明,共性與個性,全球化與民族認同之間的衝突。但是他舉得例子實在是太詳細太龐雜瞭……
