"[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...The European Commission is calling for a climate-neutral Europe by 2050. 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." ¡ªForbes
¡°The futurist and prolific author is the kind of thinker popular among chief executives and the TED Talk crowd. So it¡¯s not surprising that ¡®The Green New Deal¡¯ takes a stance quite different from that of typical Green New Deal supporters... he¡¯s interested in building factories, farms, and vehicles in a fossil-free world, asserting that ¡®the Green New Deal is all about infrastructure.¡¯¡± ¡ªThe New York Times Book Review
"[In The Green New Deal], economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin, whose work has inspired climate legislation in China and in various countries in the European Union (E.U.), is well positioned to advocate for this new political vision. In The Green New Deal, Rifkin confronts skepticism about the feasibility of making a transition of the scale required by countering that we are already making these changes in many global regions. It is time, he argues, for the United States to join the E.U. and China as leaders toward a zero-carbon economy." ¡ªScience
¡°An influential advisor to governments the world over and a prolific author in areas of societal importance, Rifkin delivers a passionate vision and practical narrative, based on his extensive experience implementing pioneering changes throughout the European Union and People¡¯s Republic of China.¡± ¡ªBooklist
¡°An urgent endorsement of efforts to remake a doomed fossil-fuel economy before it's too late.¡± ¡ªKirkus Reviews
"Jeremy Rifkin is a thinker at the front edge of important issues from genetic engineering to automation. Now he confirms the opportunities that open up if we seize the challenge of rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions." ¡ªDavid Suzuki
