Flattened world

In the chapter two of the World is Flat, Friedman talked about the fall of the Berlin Wall as a begining of a new era that allowed people from other side of the wall to join the economic mainstream. Friedman recalled that day where he recount the presence of James Baker then Secretary of State under the Reagen Administration. In the same chapter he talked about the Cold war which ended after the fall of the Berlin Wall. He also tlaked about Netscape,Workflow software, open sourcing, outsourcing, offshoring,supply chaining,insourcing in-forming and the steroids.I really enjoyed that part of the book because it is a history for me I was a teenager at that time. It is very important to read and understanding the connection that the author is trying to make toconvence us that the fall of the Wall resulted in new chapter for the world.
In Chapter three the author elaborated the triple convergence. After readind that chapter Iwas very supprised to learn that imediatlyafter the fall of the Berlin Wall, countries that had followed the Soviet economic model—including India, China, and many nations third world nations began to open up their economies to the world. When these converged with the rest of the globalized marketplace, it helps enhance the global economy. An also helped shap the politics and economies of many countries.I am looking foward exploring more chapters of this book.
