In the not-too-distant future, almost all activities outside the family sphere will become paid experiences. Jeremy Rifkin argues that capitalism, which began with the commodification of goods and property, is ending with the commodification of human time and experience. In the Age of Access, we will purchase enlightenment, play, personal care, and everything else. Rifkin raises the critical question of whether civilization can survive when only the commercial sphere remains as the primary arbiter of human life.
