Un camaleonte definito sharing economy. La sharing economy è un indiscusso trend del momento, perciò non manca di alimentare un proliferare di definizioni e classificazioni in perpetuo corso di affinamento.
Come delinearne quindi l’effettivo dominio, con coerenza e rigore, posizionandola rispetto ai modelli contigui e a quelli più tradizionali? Numerosi sono stati gli sforzi in questi ultimi anni per classificarla, a cominciare dalla pioniera del termine collaborative consumption Rachel Botsman (autrice di “What’s Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption”), fino alle più recenti analisi di web expert come Jeremiah Owyang (“Sharing is the New Buying”).

Come far nascere la prima banca italiana grazie al crowdsourcing? Come viaggiare in limousine a Roma e Milano con un click? The Post-Ownership Society by Monica Potts. June/July/August 2015The Post-Ownership Society How the “sharing economy” allows Millennials to cope with downward mobility, and also makes them poorer.
By Monica Potts Five and a half years ago, when I first moved to Washington, D.C., for a magazine job, I rented a basement apartment in a neighborhood called Bloomingdale. The area was full of Victorian-era homes that had once been occupied by mostly middle-class black families, right on the border where the Northwest quadrant of the city becomes the Northeast. But throughout the 2000s, affordable D.C. neighborhoods with trendy-sounding names like Bloomingdale drew gentrifiers who needed low rents—journalists, creative types, entry-level do-gooders, and shift-working bartenders and baristas who occasionally had Mom and Dad’s help—and so the neighborhoods changed. Last summer, I was laid off when my magazine dramatically and suddenly shrank to half its size. Britain's 'Sharing Economy' Is Creating a Desperate Servant Underclass.
Black cab drivers gum up a London street to protest against Uber (Photo by Chem Squier) It was seven o'clock on a cold January evening when Orhan a taxi driver for Uber first realised he had a problem.
Well into his second shift of the day, he tried logging on to the mobile app that connects him with his customers but found himself shut out and staring blankly at the words "network error". Just an hour earlier he'd been on Twitter arguing with disgruntled Black Cab drivers that he says were racially abusing him. This Attorney Is Suing the Pants Off the Sharing Economy—For Its Own Good. The Workers Behind WeWork. Two weeks ago, office cleaners at WeWork locations throughout New York City began protesting unjust working conditions.
WeWork is an international co-working startup recently valued at ten billion dollars that is based in New York, where it is, by footprint, reportedly the fastest growing company in the city. The janitorial staff at WeWork’s New York locations are demanding higher wages, benefits, and vacation time; they are also considering joining a union.
On Wednesday, they, along with sympathetic union workers from 32BJ (the local chapter of the national Service Employees International Union), and a drum and bugle corps marched from one WeWork location, at 222 Broadway, near Fulton Center, to another, at the Charging Bull, in Bowling Green Park. Speeches were made; the band played; confused tourists looked on. WeWork cleaners are not employed by the company, but by the Commercial Building Maintenance Corp., which is a non-union shop. CBM does not employ unionized cleaners. What will the "sharing economy" mean for health care? Boomers have marveled at the return of bellbottoms, skinny ties, mullets, and moustaches.
Memories of misspent youth, suddenly became exciting trends for the generations that followed. Now we’re discovering that the process of rejuvenation applies not only to fashion, but business models too. Airbnb and the Internet Revolution - Stratechery by Ben Thompson. Despite the fact Airbnb is, along with Uber, the poster-child for the new sharing economy, the former seems to attract a lot less attention than the latter, particularly among the chattering class.
I suspect a big part of this is the way people view drivers vis-à-vis sublessors: despite the fact drivers work for Uber by choice — and, as Uber is eager to point out, come and go as they please — while on the clock Uber controls their rates and revenue share. Not only does this raise the question as to whether or not drivers are employees, it also provides grist for countless anecdotal stories about how a company valued at tens of billions of dollars is taking advantage of drivers earning tens of dollars per hour at best.
Of course the nature of the relationship between sublessors and sublessees differs depending on whom you ask: hotels, facing real disruption from Airbnb, accuse the startup of being a shadow hotelier focused on stealing their business. The next big thing in the sharing economy? Yesterday we were driving cars to reach work, to go shopping, or leave on vacation.
But all of that might change in tomorrow’s sharing economy. Many of our fellow drivers have become “chauffeurs for hire” on platforms like Uber or Lyft. However, is another revolution just about to take off: “crowd-shipping”, whereby every day drivers turn into micro DHL or UPS couriers? Bits.blogs.nytimes.

A company called Hipcamp now offers “land sharing,” a sharing economy term for campsites on private land. Listing include a swimming hole in the pines, a pondside space in Mendocino, Calif., and a yurt supposedly ideal for practicing Tai-Chi. Many more such sites are planned. “There are a lot of people seeking privacy in great spaces,” said Alyssa Ravasio, Hipcamp’s founder and chief executive. “How cool to have your own waterfall for a weekend?” And how reasonable, at least in comparison to the sky-high hotel costs in San Francisco, which is the nearest urban center to Hipcamp’s initial sites. Business travel is buying into the sharing economy more now than ever.
It’s becoming increasingly easier and more important to integrate the sharing economy into business travel, especially as young people on the road for work regularly order rides on Uber and book lodging on Airbnb, according to a recent study from the CWT Travel Management Institute.

Two and a half years ago the Las Vegas resident was making about $52,000 a year as a stage manager for an event production company and was in search of a second job to help pay off debt. Before long she came across Fiverr, an online marketplace for individuals selling creative and professional services, everything from graphic design, to writing, translation, illustration and marketing.

One critical adjustment they’ve made is to enthusiastically embrace the upsides of the share economy. While their parents helped Craigslist and eBay become household names, today’s youth rely on crowdsourcing and funding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Their collaborative ethos promotes a peer-to-peer approach that can cut out the broker and benefit both provider and consumer in the process.
