Editorial : Information technology is disrupting a host of industries including transportation, hotels, banks, and marketplaces. The very nature of work is changing. Sundararajan offers an insightful guide to the forces shaping our economy today -- and tomorrow.
(Hal Varian, Chief Economist, Google)
Fortunes have already been made in the sharing economy, yet the biggest impact on business and our daily lives is yet to come. There's no better guide to this transformation than Arun Sundararajan's book.
(Erik Brynjolfsson, co-author of The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies)
Sundararajan has taken all the loose talk about the sharing economy and given it a rigorous and readable treatment. He makes it clear that there is no one model for these new economic forms, but that taken together, they represent a profound shift in how we think about everything from utility to capital to labor to employment.
Sharing isn't new. Giving someone a ride, having a guest in your spare room, running errands for someone, participating in a supper club -- these are not revolutionary concepts. What is new, in the "sharing economy," is that you are not helping a friend for free; you are providing these services to a stranger for money. In this book, Arun Sundararajan, an expert on the sharing economy, explains the transition to what he describes as "crowd-based capitalism" -- a new way of organizing economic activity that may supplant the traditional corporate-centered model. As peer-to-peer commercial exchange blurs the lines between the personal and the professional, how will the economy, government regulation, what it means to have a job, and our social fabric be affected?Drawing on extensive research and numerous real-world examples -- including Airbnb, Lyft, Uber, Etsy, TaskRabbit, France's BlaBlaCar, China's Didi Kuaidi, and India's Ola, Sundararajan explains the basics of crowd-based capitalism
We all know that muscle helps your metabolism. This conversational book promises more than it delivers. Being Italian-America, she wanted to know more and had heard some of these stories as a child. Now as you read so far - just buy the book and read it.
Now after I read the ebook I am sure that I will get the physical copy as well. I was confused why prime lenses cost so much more than the normal variable focal length lenses, why a large aperture was diff from a smaller aperture. Kieran walks into her life and things are about to change.
Can Fiona handle the changes that may disrupt her and Shea's routines?
I really enjoyed this one. My eyes were opened to ignition sources I had not ever considered: p. There is an alphabetical list of illnesses with treatments at the end of the book that is almost 1/4th of the book. The problem is the deadline and the line of women/wolves waiting impatiently to take her place!
I was soooo happy to revisit the vampire/werewolf
