First laid out by Charles Murray a decade ago, the updated edition reflects economic developments since that time.

Both claim to be part of the rapidly growing 'sharing economy' - but what does that actually mean? Here, Tom Slee offers a razor-sharp examination of the 'sharing economy': from its genesis in open-source software and media file sharing, through to the present day popularity of Uber, Airbnb, Taskrabbit, and similar services, which operate outside of normal business regulations, taking on none of the risk or responsibility when something goes wrong.
