I found a book!

I found "The World Is Flat" for 20 kuai at the bookstore today. It was a book recommended when I attended Broad2BeAdvantage in New York. It talks about globalization and how our hierachial structure of our society is becoming less apparent because capitalism enables almost close to perfect information. For example, blogging allows people disclose the truth without media censorship or bias (although blogging can be biased but isn't influenced by factors such as a reporter's job to make it TV friendly). It mentions the fall of communism after the Berlin Wall, the internet bubble and its bust, the current competition in job markets for similar jobs between people of different nations. Highly recommend it!
