Re: business books and synposis
I read the World is Flat, thought it was well researched though myopic that the world will be dictated by nothing but technological advances without prejudice of other factors.
"Resource wars" by Michael T. Clare is not a bad read. High level conclusions but practical ones that will unwind in the coming decades.
Was hooked on Economics by Thomas Sowell. So far appropriate for my level of economic knowledge.
I agree that is the one thing that I found a little one dimensional about the book as well.
I just finished reading tipping point and liked it, would recommend the book to people especially in product/service development and marketing and strategy world, but a good read for planners in any discipline really.
I have heard about resource wars, I may be confusing it with a different book, is this the one focusing on natural resources or human resources?
