Rushkoff on “Synthetic Overview of the Collaborative Economy Report”
“There is no longer any excuse to remain ignorant of the vast peer-to-peer landscape that is slowly but surely replacing the obsolete, monopolistic, and competitive institutions of yesterday. This authoritative survey of the emerging collaborative economy may shock businesspeople and scare bankers, but it sure encourages me.”
– Dr. Douglas Rushkoff – author, Life Inc and Program or Be Programmed.

Michel Bauwens and Douglas Rushkoff are two of the foremost pioneers in this arena.
