YaleNews | New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman to discuss ‘how America fell behind’
"Thomas L. Friedman, foreign affairs columnist for The New York Times and a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, will speak at Yale on Monday, Oct. 24, as a guest of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization.
The event is co-sponsored by the Whitney Humanities Center and will take place at 4:30 p.m. in the center’s auditorium at 53 Wall St. It is free and open to the public.
Friedman will discuss his new book, “That Used to Be Us: How America Fell Behind in The World It Invented and How We Can Come Back,” which he co-wrote with Michael Mandelbaum, considered one of the leading foreign policy thinkers in the United States today.
He will outline his belief that America faces four major challenges, on which its future depends, and its failure to meet them. He will analyze those challenges — globalization, the revolution in information technology, the nation’s chronic deficits, and its pattern of energy consumption — and spell out what he thinks we need to do now to rediscover America and rise to this moment."
