Potholes in the Global Road

This is a great article . Read it here.
The blurb says: “Globalisation has been a great liberator — but it also poses a threat to Western professionals”.
As a group some of us at TomorrowKnowledge are reading ” The World is Flat ” by Thomas Friedman. It is a book I recommend as a great read for any person who wants to have a clear understanding of why the world has changed so much. Do we have to wait for Potholes to appear in the road before we make the changes necesaary to fix the road?
