About This Book
How Lateral Power Is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the World
The Industrial Revolution, powered by oil and other fossil fuels, is
spiraling into a dangerous endgame. The price of gas and food are
climbing, unemployment remains high, the housing market has tanked,
consumer and government debt is soaring, and the recovery is slowing.
Facing the prospect of a second collapse of the global economy, humanity
is desperate for a sustainable economic game plan to take us into the
future.
Here, Jeremy Rifkin explores how Internet technology and renewable
energy are merging to create a powerful ¡°Third Industrial Revolution.¡±
He asks us to imagine hundreds of millions of people producing their own
green energy in their homes, offices, and factories, and sharing it with
each other in an ¡°energy internet,¡± just like we now create and share
information online.
Rifkin describes how the five-pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution
will create thousands of businesses, millions of jobs, and usher in a
fundamental reordering of human relationships, from hierarchical to
lateral power, that will impact the way we conduct commerce, govern
society, educate our children, and engage in civic life.
Rifkin¡¯s vision is already gaining traction in the international
community. The European Union Parliament has issued a formal declaration
calling for its implementation, and other nations in Asia, Africa, and
the Americas, are quickly preparing their own initiatives for
transitioning into the new economic paradigm.
The Third Industrial Revolution is an insider¡¯s account of the next
great economic era, including a look into the personalities and players
? heads of state, global CEOs, social entrepreneurs, and NGOs ? who are
pioneering its implementation around the world.
