Age of Access by Jeremy Rifkin
Visionary activist and author Jeremy Rifkin exposes the real stakes of the new economy, delivering the clearest summation yet of how the Internet is really changing our lives (The Seattle Times).Imagine waking up one day to find that virtually every activity you engage in outside your immediate family has become a paid-for experience. It's all part of a fundamental change taking place in the nature of business, contends Jeremy Rifkin. After several hundred years as the dominant organizing paradigm of civilization, the traditional market system is beginning to deconstruct. On the horizon looms the Age of Access, an era radically different from any we have known.
Since 1994, Mr. Rifkin has been a fellow at the Wharton School's Executive Education Program, where he lectures to CEOs and senior corporate management from around the world on new trends in science and technology and their impacts on the global economy, society and the environment. He is also an advisor to heads of state and government officials in a number of countries. Mr. Rifkin's monthly column on global issues appears in many of the world's leading newspapers and magazines, including The Guardian in the United Kingdom.
He is president of the Foundation on Economic Trends in Washington, D.C
