Sharing isnt new. Giving someone a ride, having a guest in your spare room, running errands for someone, participating in a supper club€”these are not revolutionary concepts. What is new, in the sharing economy, is that you are not helping a friend for free; you are providing these services to a stranger for money. Learn how platforms like Uber and TaskRabbit are creating economic growth and changing the future of work.
