What's Yours Is Mine - Against The Sharing Economy

by Tom Slee
What's Yours Is Mine - Against The Sharing Economy - Thryft
What's Yours Is Mine - Against The Sharing Economy - Thryft

The Unmasking the Dark Side of the 'Sharing Economy'

Recommendation: This book is a must-read for anyone who has embraced the sharing economy without truly understanding its complexities. Tom Slee delves deep into the deception behind the "sharing" facade, exposing the self-interest and lack of accountability that lurks beneath the surface. Through a meticulous examination of companies like Airbnb and Uber, Slee forces us to confront the uncomfortable truths about the sharing economy and the real price we pay for its convenience. Prepare to have your eyes opened and your perspective forever changed.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Airbnb facilitates the booking of over 37 million overnight stays per year. Uber operates in 450 cities in 60 countries. Both claim to be part of the rapidly growing ‘sharing economy’ — but what does that actually mean?Here, Tom Slee offers a razor-sharp examination of the ‘sharing economy’: from its genesis in open-source software and media file sharing, through to the present day popularity of Uber, Airbnb, Taskrabbit, and similar services, which operate outside of normal business regulations, taking on none of the risk or responsibility when something goes wrong. He asks, how did we get from the generosity of what’s mine is yours, to the self-interest and greed of what’s yours is mine?
