    About this series: This Future of Sharing project sets out to answer the key question: How can we make the sharing economy work better for everyone? We’re going to spend 2016 in conversation with thought leaders who deeply understand the sharing economy and its potential, as well as the people who run and understand cities, including those wary of any excesses and rough edges.

    If this were an age of prosperity, and the sharing economy were purely by choice, it would be great. But we're not, and you're glossing over the fact that most people are forced into these situations. Gig work because they can't find permanent full time work. Supplementing income because they aren't being paid a living wage. Renting out a bedroom because they can't afford their housing. Uber because they can't afford to buy and maintain a vehicle. History tells us why people swarm to cities, and it's not strictly because they want to.

      The European term for "gig economy" is "precarious employment", which describes this so much more accurately.

      We are not, ok, does that mean it is not possible, or just that we think so? What is a shared economy afterall, isnt it a bunch of guys sharing all their expenses/revenue, and building round themselves a sustainable closed circle more or less way of life. This will become high demand in the future believe me because our future wont be as bright as the past decades have been.

    To me this sharing economy feels like an illusion, if all the shared objects were co-owned and the apps would take little percentage of each transaction, then yes i would agree with the term sharing economy, but the way it´s being implemented is in a parasitic economy, apps leaching off people, claiming that this is some innovation, but better pricing comes due to people working for free, not calculating total car cost, there is a reason why a hotel room costs x amount, and a Taxi costs certain amount. There are fees, taxes, social security and many other things that add on. Misusing the desperate soul who really needs the extra income and sharing his stuff with others, but the apps do not share the profit...it is hard to see the innovation.

    When you don't own something, you don't have a relationship to it. When they took lands from farmers in 50s in Eastern block in behalf of "all people" the result was loss of love to the soil and birth of destructive way of agriculture.

    I understand the "Sharing economy" and yes I agree with @whenido and other such comments, people being forced into a sharing economy. I also cannot get past some of the sharing economy prospects/apps such as the food delivery service such as Grub-hub, Door-dash, Uber-eats etc...this in my view is complete laziness, and one of the most un-essential sharing economy gigs I have ever seen, it appears to me that the least amount of effort is better, leaching of someones laziness no matter what the cost ( get your @-s-s out of the house and go do something) This is not a building foundation for a strong society, this is "incubation social" at it best. The thought of enthusiasm and eagerness to actually physically do something is becoming a non-existent thought, it really feels like "why should I make it, when I can just buy it" "why should I go out and eat" when I can have an app spoon feed me.

    It's either we work on it so that we may control it, or it will be forced upon us. There's no space for the non-action dialogue. Period.

    Nothing wrong with sharing/pooling resources, people have done this throughout history among themselves, however if this requires money then "Sharing economy" can be exploitative to their volunteers, or workers and the present system. Many workers have to work several jobs in this economy to make enough to survive. This can cost you more when you have to pay more taxes to support these businesses.
    Not relying on your tax money, money from government- funded charity organization and money donation from people is the real sustainable movement: unlike some of these models under "sharing economy" that rent something in exchange for your money is just another profitable form of capitalism in disguise. Do some research on who they took from to start their company before your support. This can cost you when you have to pay more taxes to support these businesses.

    Most people I know, and myself included, prefer owning things. However the economy, and society as a whole, have forced us into this idea of renting/borrowing items. We WANT to own things, but we simply are not allowed. Hell, Amazon has removed movies from people's libraries (movies that were purchased)... This does not sound pleasant to me at all... This isn't sharing, especially not when companies make huge profit off of it

    No employers, no unions, no rights, no safety nets, no job security, no hope, no future.
    At least you’re making a handful of people very rich with your nine ‘gigs’!

    Sharing economy means: No private property, no privacy, no free time. Basically: No freedom. This is pure dystopia.

    Sharing Economy is what capitalists call it. Normal people call it making ends meet.

    • @noseporque1082

      you mean precarious employment. Making ends meet looks a lot different, because most of those gig workers have not accumulated anything for their retirement

      Not at all. Actually capitalism inevitably leads to situation where very few people actually own things. These few powerful owners rent the things to majority of people who are actually in position of tennats or sharecroppers.
