If Books Could Kill - Episode 15: The World Is Flat

Original description: Atop a foundation of xenophobia and a teetering stack of the worst metaphors you'll ever hear, Thomas Friedman builds the case for keeping America competitive in a globalizing world. Much has been said about globalization, but perhaps no one has said it worse than Thomas Friedman. Content Note: Discussions of xenophobic and racist content, especially toward the end of the episode.
