摘　　要：弗里德曼带着记者的敏锐,以美国人的观察视角,为我们描述了"全球化3. 0"版本中世界逐渐变平的过程。弗里德曼着重分析了这个超级大国得天独厚的优势与目前的发展困境。不过,也正是因为美国人的身份,一种从福山《历史的终结》与亨廷顿《文明的冲突》一路行来的美国视角下的历史架构,使书中关于美国、关于发展中国家的观点难脱"傲慢"之气,难脱局限与偏见。但是不可否认,许多想法都是极具建设性的,尤其是他强调了两个非常关键的力量:文化和教育;且弗里德曼被"平坦化"牵引,不受控制地落脚到了人类整体发展的观点。就此而言,《世界是平的》仍不失为一部大气的作品。With his acuteness of a reporter,Thomas L.Friedman accurately describes the flattening of the world in"Globalization 3.0".As an American,Friedman lays stress on his analysis of the advantages and present plights of the superpower-the United States.It is just due to his identity of an American that his book carries arrogance,limitation and prejudice when presenting his opinions about the United States and the developing countries,which is carried forward in the historical interpretation from American perspective from The End of History and the Last Man by Francis Fukuyama and The Clash of Civilizations by Samuel P.Huntington.However,many of his opinions are undeniably constructive,among which are his emphasis on two crucial forces-culture and education.Led by his idea of"flattening,"Friedman uncontrollably approaches the development of human being as a whole,and in this sense,The World Is Flat might as well be looked upon as a book of grand charisma.
