Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"People are normally trustworthy and generous, and the Internet brings the good out far more than the bad. That's the big observation from my day job, customer service, for fifteen years. We're seeing an explosion of modest businesses where people help each other out via the Net, and What's Mine is Yours tells you what's going on, and inspires more of the same." - Craig Newmark, Founder of Craigslist "What can the next wave of collaborative marketplaces look like? Botsman and Rogers answer this question in a highly readable and persuasive way. Anyone interested in the business opportunities and social power of collaboration should consider reading this book." - Tony Hsieh, author of Delivering Happiness and CEO of Zappos.com, Inc. "After listening to a thousand tirades against the excesses and waste of consumer society, What's Mine Is Yours offers us something genuinely new and invigorating: a way out. Anyone interested in the emerging economics of collaboration will want to read this profoundly hopeful book." - Steven Johnson, author of The Invention of Air and The Ghost Map. "At a moment of general gloom, Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers have offered a convincing, charming and in every sense collaborative account of how the new networks that have disrupted our lives are also likely to alter them, and entirely for our good. They offer not just a prescription for parts of our ailing economy, but a new vision of what 'consumerism' can be: not just a form of slavery to objects, but a thing in itself positive, progressive and pleasure-giving." - Adam Gopnik, author of Paris to the Moon and Through the Children's Gate "Much of what we most value is created with other people, through relationships. Friendship, care, love, recognition are not delivered to us in a package. That's why What's Mine Is Yours charting Collaborative Consumption is such a vital guide to how we can live more successfully. " - Charles Leadbeater, author of We-Thinkmehr
