Little Jack Horner
Thomas Friedman has always reminded me of Little Jack Horner, who pulled a plum from a pie and remarked “What a good boy am I!” Fareed Zakaria’s review of The World is Flat in the May 1, 2005 NYT Book Review aptly recognizes the cleverness of Friedman’s conclusion that information technology has removed barriers to international competition. But he doesn’t shame Tom enough for his insufferability.
