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.

"Impeccably argued... a compelling and cogent argument to overhaul our society and economy in favor of a distributed and collaborative model." -- Publishers Weekly
