This is a great read! The book provides a structural framework to conceptualize and better understand the sharing economy ("crowd based capitalism"). It gives a balanced view of the current state of both the industry and the academic community regarding the sharing economy. I believe that this is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the importance of the sharing economy in the digital world. It is well written, and especially helpful for today's graduate business student (e.g., MBAs); it will give them the necessary lens with which to view the the sharing economy.
