Actually, as abundance kicks in, objects cease to become commodities: They no longer need to be collected or traded, as there's enough for everybody; but genre, or uniqueness, is still valuable as the method of telling one product from another. Think of it as infinite bushels of wheat, but each bushel has a unique color, and the consumer can strive to obtain all of the blood red bushels they desire.
It's suggested that the controller of the abundance economy will be the search engine, the review and the customized aggregator.
