Title: What's Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption.
Description: New York Harper Business, 2010. Paperback octavo, as new condition. 279 pp. Discusses a new, emerging economy made possible by online social networks and fueled by increasing cost consciousness and environmental necessity. Collaborative Consumption occurs when people participate in organized sharing, bartering, trading, renting, swapping, and collectives to get the same pleasures of ownership with reduced personal cost and burden, and lower environmental impact. The book addresses three growing models: Product Service Systems (eg, Ziploc, Zipcar), Communal Economies (eg, Etsy), and Redistribution Markets (eg, eBay). Social networks facilitate consumer-to-consumer marketplaces that redistribute goods from where they are not needed to somewhere or someone where they are. This trend is in conjunction with the emergence of shared collective information sites such as Wikipedia and Flickr. ISBN: 9780062046451
