What's Left to Monetize?

Today we have commoditised things like water and songs. So my question is, what is there left to monetize? The increase of goods and services cannot keep up with the increasing rate of interest. We are simply having to think of new ways to monetize goods and services. However these are finite values for which there's little to no need. Think of the current economic climate, one that is just trying to emerge from a recession. Now think of the number of new automobile models that car manufacturers are producing. Even for the super wealthy, is there a need? Our world is increasingly becoming a planet of waste. Maybe that too is something that can be monetized, if it hasn't been done already. What we need is a return to community, as well as a fostering of ideas around care, concern and compassion for fellow human beings and an economy that focuses on giving instead of taking.
