«The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization» is Thomas L. Friedman's essay, published by Anchor in paperback (490 pages, in English).
Thomas L. Friedman analyzes globalization as the international system that emerged after the Cold War: the integration of capital, technology, and information creates a global market and an interconnected village. The Lexus, symbol of economic dynamism, and the olive tree, emblem of cultural and community roots, represent that tension.
The edition published in 2000 is an updated and expanded version; the work received the Cornelius Ryan Award in 1999.
Aimed at a general audience; useful for readers of economics, international politics, and global relations.
