Dean Baker Deflates Tom Friedman

I'm getting sick of criticizing Friedman.  Dean Baker shows that Friedman is an empty suit.  Friedman is still doing what he did in 2004 when he wrote The Earth Is Flat.  Most of the time he is harmless.  This time, however, Friedman made the mistake of explaining unemployment and falling wages.  His solution is simple, like his book, but it is very wrong.  I'll let Dean Baker tell you why.
