"The Post American World" by Fareed Zakaria. Saw him on the Daily Show and liked what he had to say. Not as good as The World is Flat or the any other global econ book... more general, less specific examples.

The World is Flat is a very good read too if youre into globalization and all that. Talks about how the US is getting left behind in math and science and cites less graduating engineers/mathematicians and the fact that we no longer dominate world math/science contests... Friedman also does a Weds/Sunday op-ed column in the times if you like his stuff. :thumbsup:
