In section 4 Rifkin seems to revert to an old type economy, having brought us to the brink of a great transformation, he avoids the great simplification. he choses to press for massive spending, jobs and development. Is there more to the story? Perhaps section three, the great shift to anew economy hidden from its eenies by section 4 as aa protective coverup. Ah, he didn’t mean section 3, but maybe he did.
Having finished the book - it seems cutand paste more than organic. Things don’t lead to each other. Section three remans marvelous, but the rest is more athletic rather than felt. Three has moments that are released into poetry The other sections not so much. First thoughts.
