Here, Tom Slee offers an examination of the ‘sharing economy’: from its beginnings in open-source software and media file sharing, to services like Uber, Airbnb, Taskrabbit, which operate outside of normal regulations and take on none of the risks or responsibilities when issues arise. He explores the shift from the principle of generosity to self-interest and greed.
