Share Economy

Digitalisation and the internet are radically altering traditional business models and consumer habits. The hot topic in the media today is the share economy, which has the potential to set in motion considerable processes of change. The economics of sharing as a (supposedly) new way of managing are placed under the microscope in this volume, which asks: What opportunities does the share economy offer and what risks does it conceal? This volume's interdisciplinary approach illuminates the basics of the concept and its sociopolitical frameworks, while the diverse perspectives allow fresh access to the subject matter and reveal strategies for political action.
