2. GLOBALIZATION AND WORLD PEACE

Abstract

I always start talks about my book, The Lexus and the Olive Tree (1999) by focusing on my job as the Foreign Affairs columnist for The New York Times because I have the best job in the world. I get to be a tourist with an attitude. I get to go wherever I want, whenever I want, and write about whatever I want. It is a great job. However, there is one downside to the job; I have to write attitudes twice a week, every Tuesday and every Friday, on the editorial page of The New York Times. The big challenge I had when I started the job in January 1995 was: What attitude?
