Product Details

Praise

“One basic economic rule, as Mr. Rifkin points out, has not changed since Roman times: caveat emptor. In the brave new wired world, it will be ever more difficult for the buyer to beware of technology speeding forward in nanoseconds, controlled by global giants.” —The New York Times

“Rifkin’s vision of corporate capitalism dematerializing into webs of access of networks of ‘virtual’ power is startling and compelling.” —William Greider, author of One World, Ready or Not
