Reseñas de la Crítica

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

Right on, but lose the ego

What did you like best about The Third Industrial Revolution? What did you like least?

My first encounter with Rifkin. What he says is right on, but his ego really gets in the way. Other people were doing the same things at the same times – Rifkin was not the only one! His comments about the changes the young generations are creating are very hopeful. Between Rifkin's ego, and the narrator, who I just couldn't stomach, I gave up before finishing the book. There are better discussions of this really important subject.

the human family needs to implement this...

first of all this a book that needs to read over and over and studied in-depth. we finally have a solutions with these ideas and not just complaining about how bad everything is (because EVERYONE knows how horrible the current economic and energy situation is) the main thing that he mentioned is the changing not only our habits but our consciousness and honestly I really don't know if humans are ready to do that on a global scale 🤔👀🌍🌎🌏

Very informative

Rifkin makes a compelling case for what the next Industrial Revolution will and should be like and interestingly enough more than 10 years after the publishing of this book we’re seeing the beginning stages of what he predicted as well as the challenges faced from it

ahead of its time

this book is amazing and ahead of its time. the insights and studies referenced are as pertinent today as they were when published. Rifkin sees the big picture and understands the immediate actions needed to secure our future.

Insightful and informative revelation

What made the experience of listening to The Third Industrial Revolution the most enjoyable?

I have been waiting for this book to be released in audio format for quite a while now.
I got a broad overview a comprehenvie insight in to some of the current affairs in the industry and in policy as well as in Rifkins successes and visions for a post carbon society...

What other book might you compare The Third Industrial Revolution to and why?

Cannot truly compare it to any other I personally have read.
he is going straight for solutions rather than rehashing the failures of the giant utilities and coporations like others do. it is time to quit debating and install the infrastructure albeit diverse.

Have you listened to any of Kevin Foley’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Quite mellow good tempo for ths particular book

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

that governements and communities are making the quantum leap to innovations they have to and they are willing do go for the practical bit by bit colutions without more legislative nonsense and debates.

Any additional comments?

Wish the fobidden areas could be discussed like seperating hydrogen from oxygen in water //a simple simple technique //to produce two volatile energy sources ...from water.

.and more about photosynthesis the model for solar cells and solar efficiency
it is good to pinpoint who and waht companies are stopping progress and their conenctions to big companies and oil-coal-gas.
