Jeremy Rifkin Libri

Alcuni dei più famosi geologi ritengono che la produzione petrolifera globale possa cominciare un rapido declino già alla fine di questo decennio. Se si considera il fatto che le riserve maggiori sono in Medio Oriente, è facile capire come l'acuirsi delle tensioni tra Islam e Occidente rischi di rendere ancor più problematico il nostro accesso a fonti di approvvigionamento petrolifero. Rifkin indica una via d'uscita a questo tragico scenario: un nuovo regime energetico fondato sull'idrogeno che rivoluzionerà le nostre attuali istituzioni politiche e di mercato.

The book explores the transformative potential of a hydrogen-powered economy, proposing that it will revolutionize market dynamics and reshape political and social institutions, akin to the impact of coal and steam during the industrial age. Jeremy Rifkin presents a vision of a future where hydrogen serves as a key energy source, highlighting its implications for commerce and society.

"In this New York Times bestseller, the author takes us on a journey into a new economic era where hundreds 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."--Back cover

A critical look at the radical scientific and commercial campaign to redesign the biological blueprints of life and remake civilization.

Describes how the emerging Internet of Things is speeding us to an era of nearly free goods and services, precipitating the meteoric rise of a global Collaborative Commons and the eclipse of capitalism.

Imagine waking up one day to find that virtually everything you do has become a paid for experience. It is part of a fundamental change taking place in the nature of business, contends Jeremy Ritkin. After several hundred years as the organising principles of civilisation, the traditional market systems is beginning to break down. On the horizon looms the age of access, where we trade experiences instead of objects.
