Tom Friedman always has a practical point of view on things and this book is no exception. I found this book to be more forward-looking compared to The World Is Flat, which is more journalistic in its reporting of events that led to the world's economic state today. This book is more about steps the United States can take to ensure American dominance in the 21st Century.



I highly recommend this book to anyone that just thinks of environmental rights advocates as "treehuggers". Tom Friedman goes into extensive detail about how a green movement can have economic and national security benefits as well, such as reducing poverty and increasing productivity in regions of poor countries that do not have a stable electric grid and bankrupting petrodictators, who benefit from and are able to remain in power due to oil revenues.
