Thomas L. Friedman

From the author of From Beirut to Jerusalem and #1 bestseller, The World is Flat, comes That Used to Be Us, a look at how America is failing to meet its four greatest challenges: globalization, the revolution in information technology, chronic deficits, and energy consumption. Thomas L. Friedman explains ... (more)how the end of the cold war blinded the nation to the need to address these issues and shows how our history, when properly understood, provides the key to addressing them. In this fascinating book from one of our nation’s most influential columnists, Friedman spells out what we need to do now to rediscover America and rise to the moment. That Used to Be Us is both a searching exploration of the American condition today and a rousing manifesto for American renewal. Presented by the Stern Family in Loving Memory of Eva Stern.
