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 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.
