The Rise of the Sharing Economy

Hosted by

Welcome to what's called "collaborative consumption" with Internet companies like Airbnb, RelayRides, Liquid Space and TaskRabbit. They're providing access to things you want without the burden of ownership — cars, houses, tools, garage space — even leftover food. They're building a marketplace that's already worth $26 billion, reducing waste and throwing a scare into business based on consumption. But what about safety, regulation and trust? Is this the future or only a fad?
