review 1: It was an interesting book on how the world should be run. Yet Mr. Khanna's idea should fall under fiction. Why? Well, because they will never happen. I don't agree with most of the book. Questions get raised reading the book. Should a sovereign government allow other countries much less a world tipe government run it? Should the people of those countries allow it? The answer for me is no they should and I wouldn't. Now I did agree with some of his economic ideas, and those in use today by companies. Though I stress I agreed with only some. I also agreed with some of his environmental ideas. I do disagree with him on Climate Change. I don't agree with climate change and to say we are causing it has yet to be proven. We are the first human with the ability to track weather ... moreand many other climate related thing because of the evolution of science. We can not say with 100 percent certainty that we are the main cause of what is happening because no where in history do we have a benchmark to measure from.Read if you want it was not a bad book.
review 2: Parag Khanna has a very digestible was of writing even though the content can be thick. I learned a lot about the reality of the current state of the globe from this book. I think the biggest eye-opener was the idea that .com, .org, and .gov can all work together and that social good is not off of the radar of even the largest corporations like Shell. This is no longer a world where ethnocentrism and geocentrism is going to accomplish anything but harm. Technological integration has given way to things like mobile banking in remote Africa and microfinancing from Kiva.org is creating entrepreneurs and raising standards of living in even the roughest of 3rd world nations. Better integration and use of resources, focusing on locale rather than "big idea" organizations like the UN are what will cause change for the good.All in all, this is a solution-oriented book that offers real insight into the way to accomplish the next Renaissance and get out of this second Dark Ages we are in. less
