The Sharing Economy

BBC Radio 4 - The Bottom Line, The Sharing Economy

Making money in the 'sharing' economy is discussed by Evan Davis and guests.

Evan Davis and guests discuss the market built around renting out your possessions to strangers. As entrepreneurs pile in, how much money can be made?

The "sharing" economy is the topic of discussion for Evan Davis & his guests in the first of a new series of The Bottom Line. The market is built around renting out your possessions to strangers and entrepreneurs have piled in to enable us to share our homes, cars, bikes, clothes, tools and much more besides. At its heart is the idea that business works better if it collaborates, rather than competes, with other companies. How disruptive might these innovative enterprises prove to be? How much profit can they make (and is that the point anyway?).

Guests :

Even Heggernes, UK & Ireland Country Manager, Airbnb
Ali Clabburn, Founder, Liftshare
Fiona Disegni, Founder, Rentez-Vous

Producer : Rosamund Jones.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
