This comprehensive open-access book explores the evolution of the sharing and collaborative economy, with a specific focus on Europe. It provides a detailed mapping of the sector across various economic domains and country-specific case studies, shedding light on the diverse roles played by the sharing economy in the sharing and redistribution of goods and services among the population. The book delves into the ways in which the sharing economy maximizes the functionality, monetary exchange, and other essential aspects of these goods and services for societies. Additionally, it examines the position of the sharing economy within the broader policy landscape and how the interplay between public policies, legislation, digital platforms, and other infrastructure factors shapes its development and functioning.
By examining these interrelationships, the book aims to provide insights into the future models of the sharing economy and contribute to addressing pressing issues such as better access to resources, sustainable innovation, and mitigating the impacts of degrowth and growing inequalities within and between societies. Furthermore, it serves as a valuable resource for finding solutions to contemporary challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and the recent coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19).
This book appeals to a wide audience, including academics and students in economics, business, organizational studies, sociology, media and communication, and computer science. It offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on the sharing and collaborative economy, providing valuable insights and perspectives for scholars and practitioners alike.
