Description

Half of this new, post-Cold War world is intent on building a better lexus, on streamlining their societies and economies for the global marketplace, while the other half is locked in elemental struggles over who owns which olive tree, which strip of land. The key question, addressed in this book, is how best to retain national identity and control over our lives while still linking up to the soulless, faceless global institutions in order to survive economically.

Media Reviews

From the reviews of From Beirut to Jerusalem: 'Jubilantly intelligent -- a dashing hybrid of autobiography and journalism. Friedman's book is a lifeline to the sane, a beacon to the hopeful.' MICHAEL COREN, Sunday Times 'Friedman's approach is both original and thought-provoking... a striking achievement.' ANDREW GOWERS, Financial Times
