'Wired Magazine recently had an interesting cover story entitled How
Airbnb and Lyft Finally Got Americans to Trust Each Other. It's a basic
discussion of how much of the so-called "sharing economy" is built
around trust, and how that's a sort of surprising thing, considering how
little people tend to trust each other. Over at New York Magazine,
writer Kevin Roose played the grumpy contrarian, arguing that the
success of the sharing company has nothing to do with trust, but is all
about desperation. And thus a big debate has kicked off.'
A thoughful contribution to the discussion about trust and the "sharing
economy".
