Another thing re Rifkin: in the book, he makes a big deal about how
networks of suppliers are replacing old-fashioned arm's-length market
relationships. Sometime after the reviewers' galleys were produced
but before the actual book was manufactured, the auto industry
announced its electronic parts exchanges and several other industries
have followed suit. You don't get much more arm's length market
related than that - completely disembodied, transaction-oriented
virtual commodities markets.
