Sharing Big-time

In the Balance

Available for over a year

The sharing economy is worth big money world-wide but who are the winners and losers as more of us choose to borrow not buy or to share our homes, our cars, our pets, our time...? We talk to some of the sector's success stories - Airbnb, Zipcar and Compare and Share - and we hear from a critic who is is concerned for our local economies and for the consumer.
