The result is a new social tapestry-The Empathic Civilization-woven from a wide range of fields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRifkin argues that at the very core of the human story is the paradoxical relationship between empathy and entropy.

L'emergere dell'Internet delle cose sta dando vita al \"Commons collaborativo\", il primo nuovo paradigma economico a prendere piede dall'avvento del capitalismo e del socialismo nel XIX secolo. Il Commons collaborativo sta trasformando il nostro modo di organizzare la vita economica, schiudendo la possibilità a una drastica riduzione delle disparità di reddito, democratizzando l'economia globale e dando vita a una società ecologicamente più sostenibile. Motore di questa rivoluzione del nostro modo di produrre e consumare è l'\"Internet delle cose\", un'infrastruttura intelligente formata dal virtuoso intreccio di Internet delle comunicazioni, Internet dell'energia e Internet della logistica, che avrà l'effetto di spingere la produttività fino al punto in cui il costo marginale di numerosi beni e servizi sarà quasi azzerato, rendendo gli uni e gli altri praticamente gratuiti, abbondanti e non più soggetti alle forze del mercato. Il diffondersi del costo marginale zero sta generando un'economia ibrida, in parte orientata al mercato capitalistico e in parte al Commons collaborativo, con ricadute sociali notevolissime.
