"An idea-fueled book that explores the rise of new economic models based on shared resources and collective consumption--and the first articulation of a major socioeconomic phenomenon"--

Describes a shift from 20th century hyper-consumption to a 21st century age of "collaborative consumption" in which traditional sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping are adopted and redefined through technology and peer communities.
