The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman

What a great book. Not only does it inspire me to become an entrepreneur and think globally. But it also helps me understand the forces against the progressive movement. He does a good job of explaining the real roots of the Islamic extremists. And that helped me see the roots of the tea party in this country. They come from that group that once felt like the chosen ones. They were solidly middle class and white and felt like they were the true Americans. They see change all around them and they are scared. They are fighting back by trying to prevent progress and if they prevail, we all lose.
