Reseñas de la Crítica

"A unique combination of cold-eyed realism and boldly confident fortune-telling....Whether all of the visions in Friedman's crystal ball actually materialize, they certainly make for engrossing entertainment." ( Publishers Weekly)

fantastic read

Excellent knowledge of his topic and exceptional understanding of geopolitics. If you are looking for an unbiased analysis of the facts and driving forces that shape the world, this is the book you need. Truely fantastic read.

Novel Interpretations and Projections

I love this book not because of the predictions or projections of the world of geopolitics in the next 100 years, but that Friedman is bold enough to make them. In fact, I disagree with a great many of his forecasts, but I congratulate him on writing the book to compel me to consider what I believe are more likely scenarios, and therefore I give this book a high recommendation for its power to generate critical thinking on the part of the reader. For this book is a stimulus to sit and write down a counterpoint to items in which I strongly disagree, and more importantly "the why."

Good listen

Great book makes you think in realistic terms. I recommend it for people seeking inspiration for the future.

the future according to bill
