The Sharing Economy
Categories: Business & Money
In The Sharing Economy (2016), NYU Stern professor Arun Sundararajan examines the rise of crowd-based capitalism through platforms such as Airbnb, Uber and Lyft. Sundararajan explains how digital platforms let people rent out cars, homes, skills and time, and how this blurs the lines between personal and professional and between employment and casual work. He considers the effects on jobs, regulation and the social safety net.
