Who is the author of the book "The Third Industrial Revolution" ? How lateral power is transforming energy, the economy and the world ?

  • A.Jeremy Rifkin
  • B.Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen
  • C.Stephen Jay Gould
  • D.None of the above

Answer: A

The author is Jeremy Rifkin.

Rifkin, an American economic and social theorist, published The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power Is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the World in 2011. He argues that renewable energy and the internet are combining into a new economic order of distributed, 'lateral' power, and the European Union took up the idea.

Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen was the Romanian-American economist of The Entropy Law and the Economic Process (1971). Stephen Jay Gould was a palaeontologist and writer on evolution. Neither wrote this book, so 'None of the above' is wrong as well.
