Sundararajan…sees enough value in the sharing economy.
So all in all, a very interesting book by one the most knowledgeable researchers on the sharing economy. Well worth a read.
* The Enlightened Economist *Sundararajan knows his stuff. He’s an award winning scholar who writes with a clarity that masks the compleity of his subject.
* Finance and Development *In his new book, Arun Sundararajan paints a rosy picture of the revolutionary companies and platforms that are altering the nature of work.
* Strategy + Business *Sundararajan…sees enough value in the sharing economy.
* TED *His case for optimism in his new book is compelling in large part because it comes from a business-school wonk and not a ‘sharing!’ proselytizer devoted to the literal meaning of the word.
* The Washington Post *About The Author
