Thomas L. Friedman's wide-ranging examination of climate change, globalization, population growth and energy, arguing that the world's greatest environmental challenges can also become opportunities for innovation and economic transformation.
Hot, Flat, and Crowded explores what Thomas L. Friedman describes as three major forces reshaping the modern world: global warming making the planet "hot", globalization creating an increasingly interconnected or "flat" world, and rapid population growth making it progressively more "crowded".
Friedman examines how these forces combine to place growing pressure on energy supplies, natural resources and the environment. He argues that addressing these challenges requires more than conservation alone, calling for technological innovation, cleaner energy systems and new approaches to economic growth.
Combining environmental issues with economics, politics, technology and international affairs, the book offers a broad perspective on the emerging global energy economy and the political and economic consequences of moving towards more sustainable forms of development.
