I fear too the kind of world that Friedman describes. I do want to ask, though, if you could say more about factual innacuracies in the book. Any specifics? Thank you. 92301@desicritics.org Thu, 15 Feb 2007 14:22:44 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/01/28/010502.php#comment-60805 Chandra, You just attacked some of the remaining left shibboleths. There is no source for the data that you demand. These are axioms in the language of the "gutter inspectors". It seems that the whole world was living prosperously in a utopian, environmentally clean, non-exploitative work environment with health benefits before the onset of globalization made possible by the advent of technology. How delightful!

Ramdoo and Aronica are concerned about the shrinking white collar jobs - data Source and where? 5. vanishing health and retirement benefits- Data source and where? 6. mass exploitation of the poor in the global third world - Data source and where? 7. We must disassociate global good from corporate profit and argue and work stridently towards a sustainable future before it is too late- Sounds like Das Kapital 60351@desicritics.org Sun, 28 Jan 2007 06:28:23 EST
