San Francisco Dinner

Thomas L. Friedman - Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Thomas Friedman’s bestselling books The Lexus and the Olive Tree and The World is Flat have established his reputation as a leading commentator on globalization and discussed among other issues CI’s global business partnerships. Mr. Friedman has traveled to Brazil, Venezuela, China and Peru with CI staff to survey the environmental situation in those countries and written about the experience in his popular column, illustrating how environmental issues are the key to meeting today’s complicated global challenges. His most recent book, Hot, Flat, and Crowded shows how American leadership in resolving today’s environmental crises can be the solution to the economic and geopolitical turmoil our world presently faces
