===Propostas de solução===
Friedman acredita que para combater a crise do achatamento do mundo os Estados Unidos deveriam buscar atualizar a qualificação de sua [[mão-de-obra]]. Tornando a força de trabalho mais adaptada vai torná-la mais empregável. Ele também sugere a desregulamentação das relações de trabalho, mudanças nas leis de aposentadoria, etc., para tornar empregados menos dependentes de empregadores. Sugere ainda que deve-se aumentar o incentivo ao aparecimento de novos cientistas, engenheiros, matemáticos devido à diminuição da porcentagem desses profissionais nos EUA.
<!--
Making the work force more adaptable, Friedman argues, will keep it more employable. He also suggests that the government should make it easier to switch jobs by making retirement benefits and health insurance less dependent on one's employer and by providing insurance that would partly cover a possible drop in income when changing jobs. Friedman also believes there should be more inspiration for youth to be scientists, engineers, and mathematicians due to a decrease in the percentage of these professionals being American.

==Crítica==
No artigo "Política externa", o professor em [[Harvard Business School|Harvard]] Pankaj Ghemawat, diz que noventa por cento das chamadas telefônicas, tráfego na [[WWW]] e investimentos são locais, afirmando que Friedman exagera dessas tendências: "Apesar de se falar de um novo e conectado mundo onde informações, idéias, dinheiro e pessoas podem migrar em volta do mundo, apenas uma fração disso realmente existe."<ref>Pankaj Ghemawat (March/April 2007euq[http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=3720 "Why the World Isn't Flat"] Foreignpolicy.com.

In a 2007 ''Foreign Policy'' magazine article, Pankaj Ghemawat (professor at [[Harvard Business School]]), argued that ninety percent of the world's phone calls, [[World Wide Web|Web]] traffic, and investments are local, suggesting that Friedman has grossly exaggerated the significance of the trends he describes: "Despite talk of a new, wired world where information, ideas, money, and people can move around the planet faster than ever before, just a fraction of what we consider globalization actually exists".<ref>Pankaj Ghemawat (March/April 2007).

Accessed 2008-06-04.</ref> However, criticizing the tiny number of participants engaged in flattening the world fails to note their out of scale significance as witnessed by [http://www.unctad.org/Templates/webflyer.asp?docid=10206&intItemID=1634&lang=1 UNCTAD's Handbook of Statistics 2008] and the challenges that inhibit the flattening process, which are noted in the [http://www.weforum.org/getr08_browser 2008 Global Trade Report]. A mechanism that exemplifies this enters into action when a global trader makes a phone call to India to order a product - this first call generates potentially hundreds more local phone calls to make and sell the product. The Flat World may be connected by a small and slowly expanding highway, but global trade happens at many scales of operation and the web has accelerated the process and taken it to grassroot levels.
Entretanto, as críticas ao pequeno número de indivíduos engajados no achatamento do mundo falham ao notar sua insignificância, como demontrado por [http://www.unctad.org/Templates/webflyer.asp?docid=10206&intItemID=1634&lang=1 UNCTAD's Handbook of Statistics 2008] e os desafios que inibem o processo de achatamento, que são demostrados no [http://www.weforum.org/getr08_browser 2008 Global Trade Report]. Um exemplo disso aparece quando um comerciante global faz uma ligação para a [[Índia]] e pede um produto - Essa chamada gera centenas de outras ligações para produzir e vender o produto.

The book is perceived to be written from an American perspective. Friedman's work history has greatly been involved with the New York Times and this may have influenced the way in which the book was written - some would have preferred a book written in a more "inclusive voice".<ref>Peter Begley (2006).
