Peers Inc: How People and Platforms Are Inventing the Collaborative Economy and Reinventing Capitalism | |
“Peers Inc is perfectly timed and convincingly argued.”—Financial Times
“Chase gives historical insight into her cofounding of ZipCar and how the flexibility and ingenuity of the public allows for new business models to be developed…An engaging and quick read on collaboration and the new capitalism.”—Library Journal
"A provocative discussion of how public investment and private entrepreneurship can combine to shape future advantages from existing used and unused capacities."—Kirkus Reviews
"A remarkably comprehensive, and extremely clear, guide to the world's new logic. I'm less interested in how these peer networks make money than in how they make change; as Robin Chase points out, if we're going to fight climate change we're going to need just about everyone engaged. Here's a recipe!"—Bill McKibben, founder 350.org
“Clear-eyed, practical and radical insight from a visionary who has already built part of our future. This is just the beginning.” —Seth Godin, author of It's Your Turn
“Peers Inc will change our ideas about how the economy is shaped and will transform how we work, build businesses and crack pressing societal problems.” — Chris Anderson, author of The Long Tail

Well-worth reading for anyone interested in the economic transformation taking place right now, moving us to a collaborative, networked marketplace that leverages the talents and work of peers like us.
This book is a game changer. I'm an active angel investor and spend time looking at many areas of the economy and where the opportunities are.
Robin Chase, thanks to her experience in the trenches starting up Zipcar (one of my favorite companies to be a customer of) completely breaks down the "Sharing" or what she calls the "collaborative economy".
We live in a world with enormous excess capacity, the technology to create simple to use platforms to make effective and efficient use of that capacity, and the "peers" who become the customers of that technology.
A company like AirBnB is a great example: excess capacity of apartments and rooms to rent. A platform where people can share their room and others can select them, and a huge group of trustworthy people (trustworthy as determined by the reviews system on AirBnB that share and use this excess capacity).
That's just one example but Robin Chase gives dozens more and churns out case studies that one can use to deepen their understanding of where the economy is going, how to build a company like this, how to survive if one of these companies are your competition, and it also opened my mind up to the possibilities of how this will effect society in the long run.
Again, a game-changing book and fun to read. A page-turner of business.
I wonder if Chase open her house for Airbnb and share her personal luxury car. To me, companies who build their business model on share economy use my profile and clicks, likes, shares, and comments are no different than a capitalistic cooperation. Just a few CEOs who become rich. Now, can they give back part of those billions to the peers who made them rich, when they sell their platforms? That is a share economy.
Adam Smith would have loved Peers, Inc. The efficient market he envisioned has never really been achieved, in part because of our individual and corporate tendency to hoard resources even when they're being wasted away. Robin Chase makes Smith's "invisible hand" possible with a twist: scaling of efficient markets becomes possible when hands are visible and linked in a collaborative economy that finds and unleashes excess capacity. And Ms. Chase shows that scaling in the collaborative economy is not only possible; it's happening now. Housing, mobility, and communications business models are scaling exponentially; airbnb added more rooms in a shorter period of time than any hotel chain has in history. The implications of this scaling power for climate change are compelling, and Ms. Chase writes one of the most powerful chapters I've read on a personal motivation for acting to address climate change. Ms. Chase doesn't sugarcoat the potential downsides of the collaborative economy, breaking down how "power parity" is possible and necessary between peers and their platform.
Another reader who would have loved this book was Thomas Malthus. But Peers Inc is not about despair of exponential human growth; its about hope in the enormous capacity for humans to achieve sustainability through efficiency. It's a hope grounded in the reality of a successful entrepreneur who co-founded ZipCar and continues to live her vision as a practicing innovator. Its the Wealth of People as much as the Wealth of Nations.
