Comment on Jeremy Rifkin: “The Zero Marginal Cost Society” by Matt Beer

Well Rifkin does like his hyperbola so you do need to take it with a pinch of salt. Also he is referring to “marginal cost” of adding an extra unit of something already made, so I read it as very low cost of recreating something easily recreate-able. But the point remains that this dynamic is, and will continue to impact many of the jobs & professions that people currently depend on to support themselves. If the world increasingly becomes a case of winner takes all and the majority of us “losers” are left with very little how will the system continue to function? A living wage might be one such solution, one which might finally result in all this technological advancement in efficiency and time saving to actually result in more free time in people’s lives and the chance to work on things things that matter to us, regardless of if they are profitable or not. Maybe then Rifkin’s consulting can be free.

Interesting presentation. In a near 0 marginal cost society that Rifkin proposes, essentially a shared economy, does he and or his firm provide their consulting expertise at no or little charge? It would only seem appropriate to walk the walk if you talk the talk.
