About this title: Esteemed economist, philosopher, and activist Jeremy Rifkin addresses what could be the most important issue facing our global economy--the wholesale loss of jobs to new technologies. With a foreword by Robert L. Heilbroner, The End of Work provides a provocative analysis of the worldwide unemployment crisis, fresh alternatives to formal work, and the possibility for great social transformation.

"Intriguing book. Few months since I read it but thing that sticks in my head is the rise of the 'third sector' - voluntary and charity initiatives - in the running of society.
Is bout 10 years old so slightly dated but still very relevant."
"as the general population ages with less people to replace them, and professional and non-professional employment declines, this one is an eye-openeer on wtf will happen and how we should deal with the phenomena."
"There is so much Rifkin could have done with this book, but didn't. I was disappointed that more time wasn't spent discussing the transition to an automation economy. But alas, Rifkin is a socialist, and we can't see eye to eye on things economic. Bottom line: as the world becomes more automated, those who want to derive the benefits of automation had better become owners of the means of production."
