The World is Spiky

The CEO of the place I work has been telling us that we should read The World is Flat. Regular readers of this blog will know that I have quoted Mr. Friedman before. I am still working my up to reading his book, but before doing so, I “The World is Spiky” in a recent Atlantic Monthly. It does run counter to my recent post that rural America can compete in a Global Marketplace. It points out that more and more economic activity is taking place in heavily populated areas. Perhaps I do have more in common with somebody in Bangalore, India than I do with somebody in Sebeka, MN.
