In 'The Age of Access', Jeremy Rifkin explores the transformation of the capitalist economy towards a model where access to services and experiences surpasses the importance of owning goods. Rifkin argues that the hypercapitalist economy is based on on-demand access to services through commercial networks, where more is paid for the experience of using things than for owning them. This change profoundly impacts society, where culture becomes a commercial resource and economic ties are essential to maintaining social cohesion. The author raises the crucial question of whether civilization can survive when the commercial sphere becomes the sole arbiter of human life.
