La era del capital, 1848-1975
Hobsbawm, Eric J.
2011
Barcelona, Crítica. 358 p.
Resumen: La era del capital es la segunda parte de ese gran panorama. Hobsbawm nos muestra aquí los años triunfales del ascenso del capitalismo industrial y de la cultura burguesa que van de 1848 a 1875, cuando, apagados los rescoldos de la revolución, se inicia un tiempo de nuevos valores y nuevas perspectivas, de transformaciones sociales, que ve la formación de grandes fortunas y la migración de masas empobrecidas, mientras una Europa sometida al nuevo ritmo de los auges y las crisis extiende sus empresas económicas y su cultura al resto del planeta. Hobsbawm nos habla de los acontecimientos políticos, de la evolución económica y de los hechos culturales en una síntesis vigorosa y original, que hizo exclamar a un crítico: «Por amor del cielo, y para vuestro propio bien, ¡leedlo!».

The zero marginal cost society
The zero marginal cost society : the internet of things, the collaborative commons, and the eclipse of capitalism.
Rifkin, Jeremy
2015
New York, St. Martin's Griffin. 356 p.
Resumen: In The Zero Marginal Cost Society, New York Times bestselling author Jeremy Rifkin describes how the emerging Internet of Things is speeding us to an era of nearly free goods and services, precipitating the meteoric rise of a global Collaborative Commons and the eclipse of capitalism.
Rifkin uncovers a paradox at the heart of capitalism that has propelled it to greatness but is now taking it to its death―the inherent entrepreneurial dynamism of competitive markets that drives productivity up and marginal costs down, enabling businesses to reduce the price of their goods and services in order to win over consumers and market share. (Marginal cost is the cost of producing additional units of a good or service, if fixed costs are not counted.) While economists have always welcomed a reduction in marginal cost, they never anticipated the possibility of a technological revolution that might bring marginal costs to near zero, making goods and services priceless, nearly free, and abundant, and no longer subject to market forces.
