THREATS TO CAPITALISM

In the March 15, 2014  Jeremy Rifkin wrote on of the New York Times in which he described a new threat to capitalism  the costant lowering of a product's marginal cost, the cahnge in total cost that arises from producing one more unit of a goal.

The first inkling of the paradox came in 1999 when Naspter, the music serivice, developed a network e. The products that are made have costs and prices that are close to free, and that makes the product no longer subject to market forces. What Mr. Rifkin is triyng to clarify is that we are making havoc by changing the cost of money. If we continue one day everything will be free.

The one  example Mr. Rifkin gives is "Napster". Napster is a music services that developed a network enabling people to share music without paying a single cent. another example that is a threat to capitalism is the Internet overall it provides many ways to entertain humans.

"the Internet of things" is a reference that Mr. Rifkin  uses to describe the Internet. the Internet is full of websites and entertainment that you can find. this affects capitalism because you can know everything without leaving your house.

I disagree with the author Mr. Rifkin. Mr. Rifkin thinks that capitalism is the way to go because there are winners and losers, but if there's an easier way which is socialism. this system is where there's nobody that wins it a draw or we each get a fair share but we both win. I believe this is the best way to live especially In the United States.
