Hot, Flat, and Crowded

A Pulitzer Prize-winning author delivers an urgent call for environmental and national renewal in this essential book. The world is "hot, flat, and crowded" thanks to global warming, overpopulation, and the growth of the middle class through globalization. Friedman shows how the very habits that damaged the environment led to the financial meltdown and Great Recession. But there's hope: a green revolution could bring about a sustainable America and economy. This updated edition challenges Americans to innovate toward cleaner energy and rebuild their nation with intelligence and creativity.
