The Age of Resilience.. The Earth is reverting to its wild state; we must reinvent ourselves.

After the age of “progress,” the age of resilience has arrived. Renowned futurist Jeremy Rifkin draws on knowledge from biology, economics,

history, physics, and sociology to offer a multidisciplinary diagnosis of our era. He argues that the focus today is no longer on the pursuit of efficiency, but on cultivating our resilience. Faced with these realities, the contradiction between capitalism, the ideal of progress and efficiency, and the finite nature of natural resources, Jeremy Rifkin envisions a new landscape for the future.

We need to rethink everything: our worldview, our understanding of the economy, our forms of government, our conceptions of space and time, our basic motivations, and, of course, our relationship with the planet.

*The European Dream*, *The Age of Access*, *The Hydrogen Economy*, and *The End of Work*. His books have been translated into more than thirty-five languages. Rifkin advises the European Union and heads of state around the world. He is a senior lecturer in the Executive Education Program at the Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania) and president of the Economic Trends Foundation (Washington, D.C.).
