[extropy-chat] Politics: worthwhile commentary

[Samantha Atkins]

I enjoyed "The World is Flat" and learned a lot from it.   Especially  
I got a much better understanding of the globally distributed  nature  
of various enterprises and occupations and what it makes possible.   
It lit a fire under me to reorganize my own career choices and revamp  
my economic models.   I did not enjoy his rather neocon positive  
political opinions and thought that was a far weaker part of the  
book.  But overall I very strongly recommend it.
