The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power Is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the WorldMacmillan + ORM, 4. okt. 2011 - 303 sider A New York Times–bestselling account of the next great economic era, with a look into the individuals pioneering its implementation around the world. One of the most influential social thinkers of our time reveals how Internet technology and renewable energy are merging to create the new jobs of the twenty-first century and change the world. In The Third Industrial Revolution, Jeremy Rifkin takes us on a journey into a new economic era where hundred of millions of people produce their own green energy in their homes, businesses, and factories and share it with each other on an "energy Internet." Rifkin's Third Industrial Revolution vision has been taken up by the European Union and China and endorsed by the United Nations. In this book, the author goes behind the scenes to meet the heads of state, global CEOs, social entrepreneurs, and NGO leaders who are pioneering the new economic paradigm. Praise for The Third Industrial Revolution "Jeremy Rifkin argues that green energy and the internet will revolutionize society and the environment . . . With the European Union already on board, this is a big idea with backbone." — Nature "Impeccably argued . . . a compelling and cogent argument to overhaul our society and economy in favor of a distributed and collaborative model." — Publishers Weekly |
