Customer Review: No new information in this book. Friedman took the title from the last book he wrote and extended it to one that appears to love the earth.
Customer Review: This is a great book about the origins our our current financial straits. It's not a light read but compelling and thought provoking to be sure. It details America's rise as global financial hegemon and offers predictions about what the future of the global economy will look like. Phillips... more info

Customer Review: 1. The content is substantive and occasionally provocative, but the writing's off-putting - didactic, repetitive, pedantic, occasionally patronizing - and altogether too much devoted to the personal pronoun.
2. On second thought - after reading the 1st 98 pages - I realized it was not written... more info
Customer Review: A friend at work said to me that we could have solved the high price of gas, if only we started drilling off shore 10 years...I wondered why he could believe that...and now I have read why. Newt gets it (we have to have energy independence); however he is disingenuous and dishonest though out... more info
