IL NUOVO BESTSELLER INTERNAZIONALE DELL'AUTORE DI THE WORLD IS FLAT Lo sentiamo tutti: sta succedendo qualcosa di grosso. La vita sta accelerando ed è vertiginosa. Qui Thomas L. Friedman rivela i movimenti tettonici che stanno rimodellando il nostro mondo, come adattarsi a questa nuova era e perché, a volte, dobbiamo tutti essere in ritardo. "Una lezione magistrale ... Come guida per occidentali perplessi, questo libro è molto difficile da battere ... una spiegazione onesta e coerente del perché il mondo è come è, senza cure miracolose o capri espiatori" John Micklethwait, The New York Times Book Review "Meraviglioso ... ammirevolmente onesto ... inietta una dose di ottimismo di cui c'era tanto bisogno nel dibattito moderno" Gillian Tett, Financial Times "Il suo principale consiglio per individui, aziende e paesi è chiaro: fate un respiro profondo e adattatevi. Questo mondo non vi aspetterà" Fortune "Un libro umano ed empatico" David Henkin, The Washington Post
