The Book Review of "The End of Work" by Jeremy Rifkin

Introduction My first impression of Jeremy Rifkin's "end of work" is how technology will affect the employment market. Then the subtitle "Declining global workforce and the dawn of the postmarket era" has made me think that this book is about how technology can become a work force. The reason why I chose this book is that it is the "Technology Impact" group project I am working on and the author Jeremy Rifkin is a famous economist. By reading this book you will be able to know the trend of work and how the future employment market will be.

In the report of my book, I chose the book "End of work by Jeremy Rifkin". It discusses the decline of the worldwide labor force and the dawn of the post-market era. Jeremy Rifkin is the president of the Washington DC Economic Trends Foundation and publishes one or more books on economics, culture, science and technology. At the end of the work, he explains what many of us already feel and provides rich and frightening data to prove it. Rifkin hopes that the gap will spread between the "rich" workforce and the "poor man" of unemployed people. If the tendency to maximize productivity continues to deprive people of their right to participate directly in the economy, he will provide society the most terrible forecast. He explained in detail the specific mechanisms by which civilized society can smoothly transition to arbitrary, primarily non-traditional work world. For example, Rifkin expects the socio-economic department to play an increasingly important role.

Many authors are discussing how the post carbon fuel age and how it will affect the economy of the new world. The most impressive thing for me is Jeremy Rifkin of his book "tertiary industrial revolution and zero marginal cost society". Transition provides an illustration of how this society functions. In other words, if there are three elements of new energy, new communication system, and fusion of new transportation system, he said a new industrial revolution will occur. As mentioned in this article, the former "revolution" was based on steam, oil and electricity. In the opinion of Rikins, these are accompanied by progress in transportation; steam engines and internal combustion engines finally improved communication, first with printing presses, and radio and television.
