This document discusses the sharing economy, which involves unused resources and capabilities being shared through trust-based platforms to create value and earn income. Examples provided include TaskRabbit, Handy, Instacart, RelayRides, Getaround, Lyft, and Parking Panda, which allow owners to sell usage rights of products rather than the products themselves through peer-to-peer sharing that disintermediates traditional markets. Problems addressed are building trust through reputation systems and ensuring good manners between participants.
