Watch the Manhattan Institute’s Jared Meyer discuss the sharing economy at THINK 2016!

What exactly is ‘the sharing economy’ and is that a good name for it? Why has it appeared now? What are its implications for the way we live and work, regulation and government, employment and the structure of business? Are we moving into a ‘post-capitalist’ or ‘zero marginal cost’ economy as some have argued?
