It’s incredible how big business has focused almost entirely on business model innovation in recent years. The last decade has been nothing but figuring out how to charge more, create recurring revenue streams, skirt regulations, download costs, eliminate competition, etc. Not that companies weren’t doing those things before, but usually they had to provide some sort of improvement in product or service or price as an excuse to ring fence and monetize their efforts. Now it’s just “I bet if we did nothing but change the way we charge money for things, we could make more money!”

The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.
