They create a "level playing field" where companies and individuals now successfully compete in the global market regardless of location. Mr. Friedman is by now an acknowledged expert on globalization, having outlined its impact in his 1999 book The Lexus and the Olive Tree . There he argued that globalization had become "the dominant international system at the end of the twentieth century - replacing the Cold War system…""
