WHAT'S YOURS IS MINE

Tom Slee, developer, blogger and author (No One Makes You Shop at Walmart, 2006) does a takedown of the “sharing economy”: the new wave of technology companies extending Internet technology into many aspects of everyday life and work, disrupting industries and challenging regulations in cities around the world as it does so. This first book-length critique is a call to push back against the venture capitalists funding the sharing economy. It argues that the sharing economy, far from its socially conscious image, is a damaging development citizens should resist rather than welcome. By extending the harshest of free-market practices into areas of our lives previously off-limits, this twisted offspring of the Internet Age presents the opportunity for a few people to make fortunes by draining communities and pushing vulnerable individuals to take on unsustainable risk.
