JEREMY RIFKIN, president of the Foundation on Economic Trends, is the author of seventeen books on the impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society and the environment and has delivered keynote speeches to many of the world's leading Fortune 500 companies, and hundreds of governments, civil society organisations, and universities over the past thirty five years.

Best Selling Author
Jeremy Rifkin's books have been translated into more than thirty languages and are used in hundreds of universities, corporations and government agencies around the world.
In his international bestseller, The European Dream: How Europe's Vision of the Future is Quietly Eclipsing the American Dream, Mr. Rifkin argues that while the great American Dream is fading, a powerful new European Dream is beginning to capture the attention and imagination of the world. Rifkin draws on more than twenty years of personal experience working in Europe, where he has advised heads of state and political parties, consulted with Europe's leading companies, and helped spur grass-roots, environmental and social justice campaigns.
In his 2002 international bestseller, The Hydrogen Economy, Jeremy Rifkin takes us on an eye-opening journey into the next great commercial era in history. He envisions the dawn of a new economy powered by hydrogen that will fundamentally change the nature of our market, political and social institutions, just as coal and steam power did at the beginning of the industrial age.
His book, The End of Work, is widely credited with helping shape the current global debate on technology displacement, corporate downsizing and the future of jobs and The Age of Access explores the vast changes occurring in the capitalist system as it makes the transition from geographic markets to e-commerce networks and from industrial to cultural production. The Biotech Century addresses the many critical issues accompanying the new era of genetic commerce and is the most widely read book in the world on the biotech revolution.
Mr. Rifkin's monthly column on global issues appears in many of the world's leading newspapers and magazines.

Jeremy Rifkin publishes new book - The Empathic Civilization
27th January 2010Jeremy Rifkin is the President of the Foundation on Economic Trends and is the author of many books on the impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society and the environment.
