Two self-promotions in a row... I hope you don't mind.
There's a cracking piece in the Guardian today that I'd like to point you to. It's an extract from a new book by Thomas L Friedman, the commentator and columnist probably best known for his work with the New York Times.
The piece is called Global is good, and explores the incredibly international supply chain behind his new Dell computer - and how technology and supply could help make the world a safer place.
I'll let the article's standfirst tell you a little more.
In his provocative new book, distinguished American commentator Thomas Friedman argues that digital technology and increasing globalisation have created a 'flat earth'. In this exclusive extract he unravels the dizzyingly complex supply chain behind his laptop - and argues that it will make the world a safer place.
