The global
economy is in crisis.
The exponential exhaustion of
natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth,
rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to
rethink our economic models.
Where do we go from here?
In this feature-length documentary, social and economic
theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a
new economic system.
A 'Third Industrial Revolution' is unfolding with the
convergence of three pivotal technologies:
-
an ultra-fast
5G communication internet
-
a renewable energy internet
-
a driverless mobility internet,
...all connected to the
Internet of Things embedded across society and the
environment.
This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving
rise to a radical new sharing economy that is
transforming the way we manage, power and move economic
life.
But with
climate change now ravaging the planet,
it needs to happen fast.
Change of this magnitude
requires 'political will' and a 'profound ideological
shift'...
