In reply to Harold Jarche » Born in a storm.

I guess that I'm as guilty as the rest in viewing the published book as the start/end of a conversation. Old habits die hard.
You're right, there's not much that's really new in Friedman's book. His angle is the flattening of the world between nation states. I view wirearchy as a flattening of the world of work in general, which may in the end even question the nation state and multinational corporations. I guess that if you want to be famous in this day, you still need to use the old media and Friedman seems to be a master of it (just watch the video).
... and yes Jon, please go on :-)
