Books like The age of access by Jeremy Rifkin


In "The Age of Access", Jeremy Rifkin examines a fundamental shift in modern life: the move from ownership to access, where almost every activity, from entertainment to learning, is offered for a fee. He traces the evolution of capitalism from the commodification of goods to the commodification of human time and experience, warning that as culture increasingly blends with commerce, only commercial ties may remain to bind society. Rifkin challenges readers to consider whether humanity can sustain meaningful, non‑commercial relationships in an economy where access has become the new norm.
