The Sharing Economy is a new way of doing business. It's already letting people earn over $26 billion a year by sharing what they already own: from cars to power drills to time. And it's predicted to be worth $150 billion a year by 2025. TIME Magazine called it One of 10 Ideas that will Change the World. Written by one of the business leaders of the movement, and providing vital first-hand advice to anyone thinking of starting a collaborative consumption business, or to those who simply want to capture the energy of this important new movement, The Business of Sharing provides colorful insights on the people and businesses at the forefront of this emergent economy with practical advice on company-building, high profile interviews with its key players including the founders of Airbnb and Zipcar, and case studies from brands from the US, UK, Europe and beyond.
