With the radical growth in the ubiquity of digital platforms, the
sharing economy is here to stay. This Handbook explores the nature
and direction of the sharing economy, interrogating its key
dynamics and evolution over the past decade and critiquing its
effect on society. Using an interdisciplinary perspective, this
Handbook analyses labour, governance, trust and consumption in the
contemporary sharing economy. It questions the apparent
contradiction between its components: the moral economy of
small-scale communal sharing versus the far-flung reaches of the
market economy. Chapters explore ways to resolve this paradox,
theorizing hybrid economic forms and considering the replacement of
human trust inherent in the sharing economy with a transactional
reputation economy. Featuring a variety of both conceptual
explorations and empirical investigations in a variety of different
cross-cultural contexts, this Handbook illustrates how and, more
importantly, why the sharing economy has reshaped marketplaces, and
will continue to disrupt them as it develops. Written in an
accessible style, this thorough Handbook offers crucial insights
for researchers across a variety of disciplines interested in the
trajectories of modern consumption, as well as students studying
the sharing economy. Practitioners, policy makers and public
speakers working in and around the sharing economy will also
benefit from this book's unique analysis of trends in consumer
economics. Contributors include: A. Arvidsson, G. Avram, F. Bardhi,
