"This book explores how globalization has transformed the world, making it interconnected. Thomas Friedman argues that advances in technology have leveled the playing field for countries, businesses, and individuals. He highlights what this ‘flattening’ means for economies, jobs, and politics, and suggests how societies can adapt to this new reality."
