Jeremy Rifkin: “By 2050, the Collaborative Commons will likely settle in as the primary arbiter of economic life in most of the world.”

I have no idea how to parse this post. Especially when I compare it to the Albert Bates post, which references Jeremy Rifkin. I wonder about Rifkin’s relationship to the top-down controlling possibilities of Agenda 21.
