Hear me out.

Hot, Flat & Crowded - highlights
[This was written about 11 years ago in my Facebook "Notes". But Facebook no longer promotes "Notes", though old notes are kept and occasionally I run across them in the "Memories" feature. I'm moving my notes to my blogs so I can access them when I want.]
Hot, Flat & Crowded is a book by Thomas Friedman who, as a book reviewer notes, "is a journalist, and journalists needs editors, and this book needs serious editing. It's 400 pages of small type. There's a 220 page book in here somewhere, struggling to get out."
This is not that 220-page book, but the highlights of the book.
First some explanations of the title.
