I finished the Thomas Friedman summary and review series!

I’m so excited that I finally finished the Thomas Friedman summary and review series today! It’s been a slog to summarise and review what Friedman had been writing over the past 20+ years, focusing on his globalisation++ books:

• Lexus and the Olive Tree, ~ c. 1999-2000
• The World is Flat ~ c. 2004-2006
• Hot, Flat, and Crowded ~ c. 2008
• That Used To Be Us, with Michael Mandelbaum, c. 2011
• Thank You For Being Late, c. 2016

There was an anthology of opinion columns called, “Longitudes and Attitudes” - but I have left that out, since it’s a collection and rather specific to the world’s attitudes towards America and of the invasions subsequently.

I will get round to doing the another author, and I’m eyeing Francis Fukuyama next - his ideas have been hugely influential in the past, and he’s a well-rounded thinker than people give him credit for I think.
