Sieff exposes Friedman fallacies on the nature of globalization, the information technology revolution, political paralysis in Washington, and energy consumption. He documents how China is investing far more in locking up the world's oil and gas reserves than in developing the ineffective green technologies Friedman claims they love. He exposes Friedman's most acclaimed ideas as retreads of naïve fantasies widely believed and exposed as useless a century ago.\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvincingly refutes Thomas Friedman's fantasies and many fallacies in his best-selling books, \u003ci\u003eThe World Is Flat\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThat Used to Be Us\u003c\/i\u003e, and presents a radically different vision and road map for America's economy and its future\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a practical trade and energy strategy to restore American prosperity and industrial strength in the twenty-first century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains why America's economy will soon depend on producing low-carbon footprint natural gas, reviving its manufacturing sector, and protecting its industry from unfair foreign competition and artificially manipulated exchange rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by veteran journalist Martin Sieff, a regular contributor to FoxNews.com and Chief Global Analyst at The Globalist Research Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1118197666\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9781118197660\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"Martin Sieff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43282890096856,"sku":"9781118197660","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/7786\/8475\/files\/9781118197660_FChigh_mockup_v2_1740148468_fab05aa9-17cb-4acb-bf98-8ff180a0dbc9.jpg?v=1791048980"}],"url":"https:\/\/turnerpublishing.com\/collections\/author-martin-sieff.oembed","provider":"Turner Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
