'This Handbook offers wide-ranging investigations and essays into the sharing economy. It takes the reader through a deep and critical look at this new way of organizing markets and society. While exposing the promise, practices, and paradoxes of these systems, the authors succeed in inspiring us to think how these platforms are changing how we consume, sell, and think about and care for the world. It offers fresh insights that I expect to influence my research and teaching in important ways for a long time.'--Christine Moorman, Duke University, US and Editor in Chief, Journal of Marketing'The sharing economy is fundamentally altering firms and markets, yet key questions about the future of the economy and society remain unanswered. Belk, Eckhardt and Bardhi provide a sweeping view of emerging thinking, spanning topics from blockchain and big data to rhetoric and risk. A must-read for any serious scholar.'--Arun Sundararajan, New York University, US and author of The Sharing Economy: The End of Employment and the Rise of Crowd-Based Capitalism'This is a must-read collection for anyone seeking a deeper appreciation of the sharing economy and why and how it works. Twenty-eight chapters explore the paradoxes between the moral economy of ''sharing'' the market economy of ''commerce,'' and the reputation economy on which everything is based. If you want a greater sense of the benefits and dilemmas of the sharing economy read this book.'--Susan Fournier, Boston University, US
