Do we know about this guy? Does he know about us?
This is an amazing article Shelley Darling brought it forth this AM in our Heart Resonance call. Her Father, who has passed on, told her to take the time to read it no matter what!!
Jeremy Rifkin is the author of “The Zero Marginal Cost Society.”
A version of this op-ed appears in print on March 16, 2014, on page SR4 of the New York edition with the headline: “The Rise of Anti-Capitalism”
“Nowhere is the zero marginal cost phenomenon having more impact than the labor market, where workerless factories and offices, virtual retailing and automated logistics and transport networks are becoming more prevalent. Not surprisingly, the new employment opportunities lie in the collaborative commons in fields that tend to be nonprofit and strengthen social infrastructure — education, health care, aiding the poor, environmental restoration, child care and care for the elderly, the promotion of the arts and recreation. In the United States, the number of nonprofit organizations grew by approximately 25 percent between 2001 and 2011, from 1.3 million to 1.6 million, compared with profit-making enterprises, which grew by a mere one-half of 1 percent. In the United States, Canada and Britain, employment in the nonprofit sector currently exceeds 10 percent of the work force.”
