The Third Industrial Revolution
2017 · Film · documentary · 104 min
Directed by Eddy Moretti
The global economy is in crisis. Our biosphere's inability to absorb human activity, combined with the exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this compelling feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new era of sustainable development. A Third Industrial Revolution will unfold when three technologies emerge and converge: new communication, new sources of energy, and new modes of mobility. But, in the context of climate change, it needs to happen fast. Change of this magnitude requires political will and a profound ideological shift.

No, we are pretty sure what is going to happen. You work with the evidence you have, what you know, not what you don't know. We cannot continue to 'grow' our economies, our economies need to fundamentally change. Unconstrained growth is economic cancer.
The third industrial revolution will by necessity change what we currently understand economies to be:
