Jeremy Rifkin

The Decline of the Future is a book by American author Jeremy Rifkin, published in 1980, that explores the concept of entropy as a key principle for understanding contemporary social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Rifkin uses the concept of entropy, taken from thermodynamics, to illustrate the inevitable increase in disorder and chaos in closed systems. He extends this theory to social and economic systems, arguing that modern industrial civilization, with its limitless growth and consumption of resources, is accelerating the process of entropy on a global scale.

The author criticizes the traditional economic model based on constant growth and expansion, emphasizing that such an approach leads to the depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation. He proposes a paradigm shift towards a more sustainable way of life, which would include reducing consumption, recycling and renewable energy sources.

The book also explores how the entropic worldview affects our understanding of time, history and progress. Rifkin suggests that accepting entropy as a fundamental principle could lead to a deeper understanding of human existence and our role on the planet.

"The Future Is Running Out" has sparked numerous discussions and prompted readers to reconsider existing values ​​and lifestyles, emphasizing the need for urgent changes to ensure a sustainable future.
