Arrow The World is Flat

I have just started to read this book, and I am finding the context described in it really awesome. The central idea is how the latest trends of Globalization and outsourcing are shrinking the world to a smaller plane where the conventional hierarchical model of work is not as efficient as the current work scenario goes.

Do post your views about the book.

The book did not appeal to me. Probably, not my kind of book. I had read the book long ago, so can't recall much to comment.

Btw, would you mind posting your reviews of the book?

I read this one few months back. Must say there were quite a few things I was not aware of. Was a decent read.
