The Zero Marginal Cost Society

The Zero Marginal Cost Society, a concept by Jeremy Rifkin, describes a future where the cost of producing many goods and services approaches zero due to technological advancements, particularly digital technology. This shift enables the widespread sharing and access to resources without significant additional costs, transforming traditional business models from ownership to sharing and collaboration. As a result, society can become more sustainable and efficient, with increased access to goods, reduced waste, and new economic opportunities, all driven by the decreasing costs of digital production and distribution.
