"The Huffington Post" reported from Beijing in October 2015 that "Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has not only read Jeremy Rifkin's book, "The Third Industrial Revolution", but taken it to heart", he and his colleagues having incorporated ideas from this book into the core of the country's thirteenth Five-Year Plan. According to EurActiv, "Jeremy Rifkin is an American economist and author whose best-selling "Third Industrial Revolution" arguably provided the blueprint for Germany's transition to a low-carbon economy, and China's strategic acceptance of climate policy."
