Friedman the Marxist

I’ve always been surprised at how many ‘progressives’ act as if Tom Friedman is some sort of godly analyst of economics and international affairs who we dare not meddle with. Actually, as John Gray reminds in the NYRB review of The World is Flat, Friedman’s oversimplistic view of globalization’s workings is stunningly similar (gasp!) to Marx’s oppositional tendencies.

Go read, and stop pretending like Tom Friedman is some sort of prophet.
