The Huffington Postreported from Beijing in October 2015 that "Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has not only read Jeremy Rifkin's book,The Third Industrial Revolution,but taken it to heart ", he and his colleagues having incorporated ideas from this book into the core of the country'sthirteenth Five-Year Plan.[4]According to EurActiv, "Jeremy Rifkin is an American economist and author whose best-sellingThird Industrial Revolutionarguably provided the blueprint for Germany's transition to alow-carbon economy,and China's strategic acceptance of climate policy. "[5]

Youth and education

edit

Rifkin was born inDenver, Colorado,to Vivette Ravel Rifkin and Milton Rifkin, a plastic-bag manufacturer. He grew up on the southwest side ofChicago.He was president of the graduating class of 1967 at theUniversity of Pennsylvania,where he received a bachelor of science degree in economics at theWharton Schoolof Finance and Commerce. Rifkin was also the recipient of the University of Pennsylvania's General Alumni Association's Award of Merit 1967.[8]

Rifkin was an active member of thepeace movement.He attended theFletcher School of Law and DiplomacyatTufts University(MA, International Affairs, 1968) where he continued anti-war activities. Later he joinedVolunteers in Service to America(VISTA).

1970s

edit

In 1970, Rifkin founded thePeople's Bicentennial Commissionto provide "revolutionary alternatives for theBicentennialyears. "[9]

In 1973, Rifkin organized a mass protest against oil companies at the commemoration of the 200th Anniversary of theBoston Tea Partyat Boston Harbor. Thousands joined the protest, as activists dumped empty oil barrels into Boston Harbor. The protest came in the wake of the increase in gasoline prices in the fall of 1973, following theOPECoil embargo.[10]Later, this was called a "Boston Oil Party" by the press.[11]

On April 17–18 the group camped out at Concord Bridge, Massachusetts to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Minute Men's 1775 fight with the British which marked the beginning of our independence and according to White House documents, attempted to disrupt an appearance by President Gerald R. Ford where he was to lay a wreath at the Minute Man Statue.https:// fordlibrarymuseum.gov/library/document/0067/7580533.pdf

On July 4, 1976, the People's Bicentennial Commission staged a rally on the Capitol Mall as an alternative to the other Bicentennial celebrations.https:// fordlibrarymuseum.gov/library/document/0067/1563322.pdf

In 1977, withTed Howard,he founded theFoundation on Economic Trends(FOET), which is active in both national and international public policy issues related to the environment, the economy, and climate change. FOET examines new trends and their effects on the environment, the economy, culture, and society, and it engages in litigation, public education, coalition building, and grassroots organizing activities to advance their goals. Rifkin became one of the first major critics of the nascentbiotechnologyindustry with the 1977 publication of his book,Who Should Play God?[12]

In 1978, Jeremy Rifkin and Randy Barber co-authored the bookThe North Will Rise Again: Pensions, Politics, and Power in the 1980s.The book and subsequent activist engagement by the authors with the American Labor Union movement, the financial community, and civil society organizations helped spawn the era of socially responsible investment of public and union pension funds in America. An article on socially responsible investment in the New York University Review of Law and Social Change noted that "the idea of socially responsible investing, long a concern of only special interest groups, achieved widespread attention in 1978 with the publication of Jeremy Rifkin and Randy Barber'sThe North Will Rise Again."[13]The book helped lay the early groundwork for what later would evolve into the principles of environment, society, and governance (ESG) standards in investments.[14][15]

1980s

edit

Rifkin's 1980 book,Entropy: A New World View,discusses how the physical concept ofentropyapplies to nuclear and solar energy,urban decay,military activity, education, agriculture, health, economics, and politics. It was called "A comprehensive worldview" and "an appropriate successor to...Silent Spring,The Closing Circle,The Limits to Growth,andSmall Is Beautiful"by theMinneapolis Tribune.[16]Rifkin's work was heavily influenced by the ideas expressed byNicholas Georgescu-Roegenin his 1971 bookThe Entropy Law and the Economic Process.In Rifkin's 1989 revised edition ofEntropy:...,entitledEntropy: Into the Greenhouse World,its "afterword" was written by Georgescu-Roegen.[17]

In 1980, the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of granting a patent on the first genetically engineered life form with 5 justices favoring the patent and 4 justices opposed. Jeremy Rifkin's office - The People's Business Commission - provided an amicus curiae brief in support of the US Patent and Trademark Office, arguing that extending patents to genetically-engineered organisms was not covered by US patent law. Speaking on behalf of the majority opinion, Chief JusticeWarren Burgerreferred to the petitioners' briefs as "the gruesome parade of horribles" and argued that "the relevant distinction was not between living and inanimate things, but between products of nature, whether living or not, and human-made inventions". Speaking for the minority opinion,Justice William Brennanargued that "it is the role of Congress, not this court, to broaden or narrow the reach of patent laws" and further suggested that "the composition [the genetically engineered micro-organism] sought to be patented uniquely implicates matters of public concern".[18][19]

On May 16, 1984, Federal District JudgeJohn J. Siricaissued a ruling halting an experiment that would have involved the "first deliberate release into the environment of organisms altered by gene splicing". The court suit was brought by Jeremy Rifkin, the President of the Washington DC–based Foundation on Economic Trends. The plaintiff argued that theNational Institutes of Health(NIH) had violated theNational Environmental Policy Act(NEPA) by failing to undergo an assessment of the potential risks and consequences of releasing the genetically engineered organism into the environment before "giving the testing a green light". The journalSciencerecorded that the ruling "stunned most observers". In his ruling, Judge Sirica said that Rifkin and his legal counsel "had made a satisfactory showing that they are likely to succeed" in their lawsuit. In the meantime,Sciencereported that Judge Sirica told NIH "not to approve any more experiments by academic researchers involving release of modified organisms". The court ruling was credited with beginning the process of regulating the release of genetically engineered organisms into the environment in the United States and around the world.[20]

In 1989, Rifkin brought together climate scientists and environmental activists from 35 nations in Washington, D.C., for the first meeting of the Global Greenhouse Network.[21]In the same year, Rifkin did a series of Hollywood lectures onglobal warmingand related environmental issues for a diverse assortment of film, television, and music industry leaders,[clarification needed]with the goal of organizing the Hollywood community for a campaign. Shortly thereafter, two Hollywood environmental organizations, Earth Communications Office (ECO) and theEnvironmental Media Association,were formed.[22]

Main article:Galileo project

Also in 1989 Rifkin, with a group of environmentalists, attempted to prevent the launch of a NASA rocket that was expected to lift theGalileo space probe,claiming it carried a "very high risk" of explosion and "spraying deadlyplutonium"over the territory of the USA. The lawsuit was eventually rejected, and the Galileo mission succeeded.[23]

1990s

edit

In 1992, Rifkin published the bookBeyond Beef.In its review, the Washington Post praised the book for its "fresh thinking and well-reasoned arguments...[and for] combining reliable research with logical conclusions", noting that "[Rifkin] offers enough economic, medical, environmental, and ethical arguments to persuade any open minded person to pass by the meat (en)counter.”[24]

That same year, Rifkin and the Foundation on Economic Trends launched the Pure Food Campaign to demand government labeling of all genetically engineered foods. The campaign was spearheaded by more than 1,500 of the nation’s leading chefs.[25]

In 1993, Rifkin launched the Beyond Beef Campaign, a coalition of six environmental groups includingGreenpeace,Rainforest Action Network,andPublic Citizen,with the goal of encouraging a 50% reduction in the consumption of beef, arguing thatmethane emissionsfrom cattle has a warming effect 23 times greater than carbon dioxide.[26][27][28]

His 1995 book,The End of Work,is credited by some with helping shape the current global debate onautomation,technology displacement, corporatedownsizing,and the future of jobs. Reporting on the growing controversy over automation and technology displacement in 2011,The Economistpointed out that Rifkin drew attention to the trend back in 1996 with the publication of his book,The End of Work.ThenThe Economistasked "what happens... when machines are smart enough to become workers? In other words, when capital becomes labor."The Economistnoted that "this is what Jeremy Rifkin, a social critic, was driving at in his book," The End of Work, "published in 1996... Mr. Rifkin argued prophetically that society was entering a new phase, one in which fewer and fewer workers would be needed to produce all the goods and services consumed. 'In the years ahead,' he wrote, 'more sophisticated software technologies are going to bring civilization ever closer to a near-workerless world. The process has already begun."[29]

His 1998 book,The Biotech Century,addresses issues accompanying the new era of genetic commerce. In its review of the book, the journalNatureobserved that "Rifkin does his best work in drawing attention to the growing inventory of real and potential dangers and the ethical conundrums raised by genetic technologies... At a time when scientific institutions are struggling with the public understanding of science, there is much they can learn from Rifkin's success as a public communicator of scientific and technological trends."[30]

InThe Biotech Century,Rifkin argues that 'Genetic engineering represents the ultimate tool.' 'With genetic technology we assume control over the hereditary blueprints of life itself. Can any reasonable person believe for a moment that such unprecedented power is without substantial risk?'[31]Some of the changes he highlights are: replication partially replacing reproduction; and 'Genetically customized and mass-produced animal clones could be used as chemical factories to secrete—in their blood and milk—large volumes of inexpensive chemicals and drugs for human use.'[32]

Rifkin's work in the biological sciences includes advocacy ofanimal rightsand animal protection around the world.[33][34]

2000s

edit

Rifkin's book,The Age of Access,published in 2000, was the first to introduce the concept that society is beginning to move from ownership of property in markets, to access to services in networks, giving rise to thesharing economy.According to the Journal of Consumer Research, "the phenomenon of access was first documented in the popular business press by Rifkin (2000), who primarily examines the business-to-business sector and argues that we are living in an age of access in which property regimes have changed to access regimes characterized by short-term limited use of assets controlled by networks of suppliers."[35][36]

Rifkin published the bookThe Hydrogen Economy: The Creation of the Worldwide Energy Web and the Redistribution of Power on Earthin 2002. That same year, Mr. Rifkin, who at the time served as an advisor toRomano Prodi,thenPresident of the European Commission,developed a strategicwhite papercommitting the European Union to a multi-billion Euro research and development plan that would transform the EU into agreen hydrogeneconomic paradigm. Mr. Rifkin joined Prodi at aEuropean Unionconference in October 2002 to announce "a coordinated long-term plan for Europe to make the transition fromfossil-fueldependency to become the first "hydrogen economy"superpower of the 21st century".[37]President Prodi remarked that the EU hydrogen R&D initiative would be as significant for the future of Europe as the space program was for the U.S. in the 1960s and 1970s.[37]

After the publication ofThe Hydrogen Economy(2002), Rifkin worked both in the U.S. and Europe to advance the political cause of renewably generated hydrogen. In the U.S., Rifkin was instrumental in founding the Green Hydrogen Coalition, consisting of 13 environmental and political organizations (includingGreenpeaceandMoveOn.org) committed to building arenewable hydrogen-based economy.[38]

His 2004 book,The European Dream,was an international bestseller and winner of the 2005Corine International Book Prizein Germany for the best economics book of the year.[39][40]In its review of the book,BusinessWeeknoted that "Rifkin makes a compelling case for [the European] vision, which he says is usurping the American Dream as a global ideal… a fascinating study of the differences between the American and European psyches."[41]

In 2009 Rifkin publishedThe Empathic Civilization: The Race to Global Consciousness in a World in Crisis.[42]In a review of the book in theHuffington Post,Ariana Huffington writes: “Rifkin is that rare breed, one whose disappearance is often and rightly bemoaned: a public intellectual. Rifkin… takes a look at the new scientific discoveries that lead to the conclusion that rather than being naturally aggressive, acquisitive, and self-involved, humans are ‘a fundamentally empathic species’ -- what Rifkin callsHomo empathicus…The Empathic Civilizationis a fascinating book that boldly challenges the conventional view of human nature and seeks to replace that view with a counter-narrative that allows humanity to see itself as an extended family living in a shared and interconnected world.”[43]

edit

In 2011, Rifkin publishedThe Third Industrial Revolution; How Lateral Power is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the World.The book was aNew York Timesbest-seller,[44]and has been translated into 19 languages. By 2014, approximately 500,000 copies were in print in China alone.

PresidentLee Myung-bakof South Korea also gave a speech at the conference and embraced the Third Industrial Revolution to advance agreen economy.[45]

In December 2012,Bloomberg Businessweekreported that the newly-elected premier of China,Li Keqiangis a fan of Rifkin and had "told his state scholars to pay close attention" to Rifkin's book,The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the World.[46]

In September 2019, Rifkin publishedThe Green New Deal: Why the Fossil Fuel Civilization will Collapse by 2028, and the Bold Economic Plan to Save Life on Earth.In its review of the book,Forbesnoted that "[Jeremy Rifkin] is a principal architect of the European Union’s long-term economic vision, Smart Europe, and a key advisor to China's Third Industrial Revolution vision... His new book, The Green New Deal, is essentially an attempt to rouse the United States from its slumber within a collapsing 20th century fossil fuel era."[58]

That same year, the European Commission and its president,Ursula von der Leyen,announced theEuropean Green Deal,a plan to make Europe "the first climate neutral continent in the world" by 2050. The European Commission presented a spectrum of proposals, projects, and initiatives under the rubric of "Leading The Third Industrial Revolution", signaling a fundamental transformation of the European economy and society.[59]

2021

edit

Jeremy Rifkin and TIR Consulting Group, LLC and partners published a $16 trillion, twenty-year America 3.0 Resilient Infrastructure plan, prepared for Senate Majority LeaderCharles Schumerand first released by Bloomberg on July 29 in an article entitled "Energy Guru is Beyond Disappointed with Dwindling US Infrastructure Plan".[62]

The America 3.0 infrastructure transformation 2022-2042 details a massive investment to scale, deploy, and manage a smart digital zero-emission Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure for a 21st century economy. The plan will create an average of 15 to 22 million net new jobs over the period 2022 to 2042. For every dollar invested, it is projected to return $2.90 in GDP between 2022 and 2042.[63][non-primary source needed]

The Bloomberg article noted that "For almost two decades the U.S. author and climate activist Jeremy Rifkin has advised governments in Europe and China on how to retool their economies for what he calls a third industrial revolution."[62]

Rifkin also provided the economic and environmental commentary in the fifth and final episode of theBBCdocumentary seriesA Perfect Planet,starringSir David Attenborough.[64]

2022

edit

In November 2022, Rifkin publishedThe Age of Resilience: Reimagining Existence on a Rewilding Earth.In its review of the book, theFinancial Timesnoted that "...The influential US thinker...[argues that] humanity is shifting to an age of resilience that could transform our relationship with the natural world and each other...Rifkin sees a future of sweeping economic and social shifts where productivity gives way to regenerativity and gross domestic product to quality of life indicators. Consumerism, corporate conglomerates and globalisation all wither while “eco-stewardship”, high-tech co-operatives and “glocalisation” flourish. The book will undoubtedly prove beguiling for many readers, even as it infuriates others. It is rarely different for a writer who has spent decades warning of the need to address environmental problems that the human species caused and is still struggling to fix.”[65]

Reception

edit

According to TheEuropean Energy Review,"Perhaps no other author or thinker has had more influence on the EU's ambitiousclimate and energypolicy than Jeremy Rifkin.[66]In the United States, he has testified before numerous congressional committees and has had success in litigation to ensure responsible government policies on a variety of environmental, scientific and technology related issues.[67]TheUnion of Concerned Scientistshas cited some of Rifkin's publications as useful references for consumers[68]andThe New York Timesonce stated that "others in the scholarly, religious, and political fields praise Jeremy Rifkin for a willingness to think big, raise controversial questions, and serve as a social and ethical prophet"[69]

Criticism

edit

Rifkin's work is controversial due to a purported lack of scientific rigor in his claims as well as some of the tactics he has used to promote his views. These include claims that the theory of evolution is a product of "19th century industrial capitalism" and frequent use of thestrawmanfallacy.[70]Referring to Rifkin's 1984 book,Algeny: A New Word--A New World,Stephen Jay Gouldstated:

I regardAlgenyas a cleverly constructed tract of anti-intellectual propaganda masquerading as scholarship. Among books promoted as serious intellectual statements by important thinkers, I don't think I have ever read a shoddier work. Damned shame, too, because the deep issue is troubling and I do not disagree with Rifkin's basic pleas for respecting the integrity of evolutionary lineages. But devious means compromise good ends, and we shall have to save Rifkin's humane conclusion from his own lamentable tactics.

— Stephen Jay Gould,"Integrity and Mr. Rifkin",Discover Magazine,January 1985; reprinted in Gould's essay collectionAn Urchin in the Storm,1987, Penguin Books, p. 230

In a profile article in 1989, TIME Magazine called Jeremy Rifkin the "most hated man in science" and the "nation's foremost opponent of environmental neglect... Rifkin is surely justified in seeking precise regulations for genetic research, to protect the health of the individual and the environment. [...] But there is good reason to question the fairness of Rifkin's angriest assaults on scientists as mad magicians and unethical disciples of Dr. Strangelove. When Rifkin is most successful, he may slow basic research, delay a medical advance, perhaps even damage the economy."[71]
