Overview

Lessig (2008) contrasted sharing and commercial economies; Botsman and Rogers (2010) framed collaborative consumption. Types include lodging, car sharing, space and goods. Platforms cut transaction costs and benefit from network effects. Debates cover worker rights (gig economy), regulation, safety, taxes and housing.

Frequently asked questions

Is it just renting?
Boundaries are blurred; many platforms are commercial rentals.
