It has always been human nature to share with our loved ones and our closest friends and companions. From food and shelter to knowledge and wisdom, we have always been willing to distribute our resources among other humans that we care for. With this being said, our forever-evolving technology is allowing us to connect with people around the globe, and therefore expanding our ability to reach people we may be able to help. The result of this is a phenomenon labeled “the sharing economy”. People all over the world are connecting with each other and are sharing their belongings, their homes, and their information, and it is, arguably, becoming the ‘newest’ trend. However, one question that cannot be avoided, is who can we truly trust?
The sharing economy is the label that describes the way we are beginning to use technology to share, rent and swap our resources on a global scale. Some of the goals the sharing economy aim to achieve are mainly efficiency and social capital.
The point of the sharing economy is to provide resources and services to people who need it, for minimal cost. An argue is that the main beneficiaries will be “the relatively well off, who are simply paying less for the same services they used before.” compared the sharing economy to an old Persian traditional marketplace, called the bazaar, which were places where the rich became richer and gained power, just as he claims the sharing economy is doing, although in a less barbarian sense. Therefore, declares the sharing economy to be “a leap into the past, and not the future.” In addition to it being a philistine way of trading and sharing.
