C.E.O.'s, M.I.A.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
After six weeks of being a foreign correspondent traveling around America, the biggest question I have come home with is not "What's the matter with Kansas?" but rather, "What's the matter with big business?"
Response...Thomas Friedman's new book entitled "The World is Flat" is a must read. He hardly dismisses the competitiveness of U.S. business. Rather he points to the value of intellectual property and the need to educate and re-educate. He also offers a difficult pill to swallow for those who are anti-trade and seek protectionism from those changes taking place daily in the new "flat" world. He is truly the most brilliant economic journalists of our time.
