Sharing Economies in Times of Crisis

This book stretches far beyond the sharing economy as it is popularly defined, and explores the complex intersections of `sharing¿ and `the economy¿, and how a better understanding of these relationships might help us address the multiple crises that confront contemporary societies. The contributors to this book explore a wide diversity of sharing systems and practices from various empirical case studies, ranging from hospitality to seed-swapping, and from indigenous land rights to alcohol consumption. In each chapter, a different crisis or vulnerability frames and shapes the study, allowing contributors to unpick the ways in which crisis and sharing relate to one another in real life.
