Video: The World is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman

I believe his book 'The World is Flat' could have caught your attention while you were browsing around for a weekend read. I will not introduce him further. Enjoy this 48min video.

Hi,

I read Friedman's "The World is Flat" only recently amidst the ambiance of despondency set in by the recession. Friedman seems to be sanguine giving an impression that everything would fall in place because the world has flattened and whatever has not been so, they will in due course. Time vindicated otherwise.

I've reviewed the book on my blog. You may have a look.

Conventional wisdom says that central banks can influence or even direct financial markets and the macroeconomy. The very existence of Elliott waves challenges such assumptions. For if markets responded to every central bank directive, how could Elliott waves exist? Parallel trend channels, Fibonacci price relationships, the similarity of form between waves of different sizes and time periods—none of that would be possible. Central bank decisions would have to coincide perfectly with turning points in Elliott waves, and we know that just doesn’t happen. But even without using waves, we can expose the conventional wisdom for the fallacy that it is. Take, for example, this assertion in ...
