520 ^aWhen Robin Chase cofounded Zipcar, she established thefoundation for one of the most important economic and social ideas of our time: the collaborative economy. With this important book, she broadens our thinking about the ways in which the economy is being transformed and shows how the Peers Inc model is changing the very nature of capitalism. When the best of people power is combined withthe best of corporate power to form ^"Peers Inc^" organizations, a potent creative force is released. The ^"Inc^" in these collaborations delivers the industrial strengths of significant scale and resources, and the ^"Peers^" bring together the individual strengths of localization, specialization, and customization, unlockingthe power of the collaborative economy. When excess capacity is harnessed by the platform and diverse peers participate, a completely new dynamic is unleashed. Chase casts a wide net, illuminating the potential of the Peers Inc model to address broader issues such as climate changeand income inequality, and proves the impact that this innovative economic force can have on the most pressing issues of our time.--From publisher description |
