ABC-- I agree with you especially on one thing, that this only shows that there is a vast diversity of feelings and opinions on the problem, on both sides, and some are more viable than others.

AChimp-- I read Friedman's book as well, and although it is full of cute analogies and quotes, I think he is full of shit a lot of the time. He doesn't justify what he believes about globalization with enough of an economic perspective, such as DeSoto (who I disagree with yet respect), and/or Joseph Stiglitz.

Chimp, if I were you, I'd read "Globalization and its Discontents" by Joseph Stiglitz, as opposed to Friedman. Friedman is an intelligent man, and he writes wonderfully. But most of the time he's just shooting from the hip....
