A World Without Jobs
Low-cost production will mean the end of jobs
by Liz Else
The internet and low production costs will free us from work and want, says social theorist Jeremy Rifkin – but what will we do then?
Stephen Jay Gould called an early book of his “a cleverly constructed tract of anti-intellectual propaganda masquerading as scholarship”. In the 30 years since, Jeremy Rifkin has been preparing governments, corporations and the readers of virtually every globally important broadsheet for a distinctly post-capitalist future.
Neither a number-cruncher nor a utopian visionary, Rifkin occupies high ground all his own on the futurological landscape – and the view he’s getting from there now is surprisingly bright.
Your book is called The Zero Marginal Cost Society. Why?
Marginal cost is the cost of producing an additional unit of something after the fixed costs of production have already been absorbed. Sellers look for technologies to increase productivity, and to win over consumers by offering cheaper products. But no one ever imagined that marginal costs of producing and distributing goods and services could approach zero, making the products or services potentially free and therefore beyond the market.
