Foundation on Economic Trends

Established in 1977 by noted author Jeremy Rifkin, the Foundation on Economic Trends examines the economic, environmental, social and cultural impacts of new technologies introduced into the global economy. Over the years, the group has been a participant in many efforts to limit the patentability of life forms and preserve the common gene pool (human genome) from becoming privately owned.
