The Sharing Economy -- a marketplace where people rent or share their time, talent or property -- has long been seductive to entrepreneurs. With an insider’s understanding of those who succeed through invention and innovation, Forbes covers the savvy platforms connecting drivers with riders, rooms with renters and what it takes to transform peer-to-peer business opportunities beyond just apps. Editor Biz Carson and her team of contributors cover the audacious startups as well as the publicly traded companies who make millions from this new and growing opportunity, which is expected to hit $335 billion by 2025. Readers also gain insight into those major corporations taking big hits from the uprising of the Sharing Economy, and startups that failed to launch anything but an idea. From evolving government regulation to the opportunities and pitfalls possible if these sharing networks don’t reach scale, Forbes fills in the blanks on this new world of collaborative consumption.
