Abstract:
"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.
