Economist - Jeremy Rifkin

BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Economist - Jeremy Rifkin

Are we entering a post-capitalist age, with economies defined by collaboration, not competition?

What if we lived in a radically different world? An internet-driven, smart world where individuals and communities generate their own free energy, produce and share the things they need and build an economy defined by collaboration, not competition. 

For economist and author Jeremy Rifkin, this is no utopian fantasy - it is the unfolding story of the next century. Are we really entering a post-capitalist age?
