Local traditions

What this article neglects to mention is Friedman's emphasis on the importance of maintaining a country's local traditions along with globalization, a process he describes as 'glocalization'. He at heart is anything but the apologist for imperialism that he's often described as.Alloco1

To much emphasis on a small part of the book

The Golden Arches theory is the bulk of this article. The book is about a lot more than that. --rogerd 17:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Focus on the book itself?

Yeah... I agree. Arches, smarches, i want to hear about the book itself. which struggle prevails? how does he characterize each one? etc? Lequis (talk) 03:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Written like an advertisement

Phrases like "Friedman leads the reader on an international quest for a new understanding" and "Friedman... [introduces] colorful new terms" is unacceptable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spartan2600 (talk • contribs) 07:49, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Thank you for pointing that out. I have changed the wording. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 23:27, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removing external links

Potential error in regards to NATO bombing of Yugoslavia

NATO bombing began in March of 1999 while the listed publication date for the book is not listed in the article my admittedly brief research indicates that it was published sometime in April of 1999. This would mean that bombing of Yugoslavia began before the book was even released not shortly after as the article states. I am rather inexperienced in regards to conducting the necessary research to ensure accuracy before making a major change in a article so I wanted to bring this potential error to light so that further discussion can be made prior to a potential edit being made.
