Against 'Sharing Economy'.

Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but does it bother anyone else that the 'Sharing Economy' is not sharing at all? Renting your assets out for use when you're not using them is entirely different than giving them to someone else to use and expecting nothing in return.

Yes.

I think that this type of employer-employee relationship described is just being rebranded as "sharing economy" and "disruptor."
