The new book What’s Mine Is Yours, by Rachel Botsman and Roo
Rogers, says we are undergoing a transformative movement in
Capitalism as we transition from a “shopping” to a “swapping”
mentality.
In other words, the relentless accumulation of consumer goods is
being replaced by a more sustainable model based around bartering.
Instead of financial capital, it’s about reputation capital. It’s
not how much you earn, it’s how trustworthy you are in your
community.
The collaborative consumption movement is gaining momentum as people
see and embrace the myriad possibilities.
