Worthy reads from Thomas Friedman

I occasionally read Thomas Friedman and am generally impressed with what he has to say. Here's a link to his New York Times site that has his editorials listed. I would like to direct your attention to two recent ones that I read. The first one, The Start-Up of You, deals with the new realities of today's job market versus that of the past. The second one, The Clash of Generations, pertains to the state of today's worker versus that of the retiring baby boomers. Also, in this article is the assessment of America's standing in the world relative to up and coming economies like China's.
