Various definitions have been suggested for the [[Collaborative Economy - Concept]]. Wikipedia has an article on the [[Wikipedia:Sharing economy|Sharing economy]], suggesting that the "Sharing economy is a term for a way of distributing goods and services, a way that differs from the traditional model of corporations hiring employees and selling products to consumers. In the sharing economy, individuals are said to rent or "share" things like their cars, homes and personal time to other individuals in a peer-to-peer fashion".
It is difficult to define the concept of the Collaborative Economy in any precise way (see: [[Collaborative Economy - Concept]]), so this section has very broad source material about the connection between economic practice and collaborative practice; the concept emerged in the years 2012-2013, and peaked in 2016.


However, the definition of the [[Sharing Economy]] is generally taken to include platforms like AirBnB and Uber, which we now recognise as 'extractive'. Recently there is more general agreement within the community talking about the [[Commons]] that those kinds of platform are not in any deep way collaborative.  
See also our [[:Category: Sharing]] (concept: [[Sharing Economy]]) which is about more specific practices where previously idle resources are shared and exchanged over platforms.


According to Google Trends, interest in the term peaked around 2016, which makes sense given the introductory material disseminated around 2012 to 2013. It is one of the terms, but by no means the only one in use, to describe the kind of economy that fits with the [[Commons]], with the [[Transition Initiative]] etc.

The Introduction to the P2P Foundation Wiki Material about the Collaborative Economy compiled by Michel Bauwens gives a wide selection of references, typologies, and links to other articles.

It is difficult to define the concept of the Collaborative Economy in any precise way (see: Collaborative Economy - Concept), so this section has very broad source material about the connection between economic practice and collaborative practice; the concept emerged in the years 2012-2013, and peaked in 2016.

See also our Category: Sharing (concept: Sharing Economy) which is about more specific practices where previously idle resources are shared and exchanged over platforms.
