Too Long; Didn't Read
In 2014, few months after its release, I read Jeremy Rifkin’s <a href="https://www.thezeromarginalcostsociety.com">Zero Marginal Cost Society</a> which appeared to me as one of the most far-sighted book I have ever read. In this 400+ pages work, Rifkin highlights the rise of the sharing economy, predicts the development of the <a href="https://www.commondreams.org/views/2014/04/29/sharing-economy-collaborative-commons">Collaborative Commons</a> and the demise of capitalism as we know it. Rifkin forecasts these shifts based on new technologies enabling individuals to work together in a more direct and efficient way. The conclusions drawn were a bit astonishing especially because Rifkin based them on actual and tangibles trends and facts.
