TEDxSydney - Rachel Botsman: The case for collaborative consumption

Rachel Botsman is the co-author of What's Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption - a newish book that outlines many ideas familiar to those who have been following the rise of P2P/Commons thinking. I didn't realize she was a former director at the William J. Clinton Foundation - that's cool - I hope she brought some of these ideas to that organization.

About this talk

At TEDxSydney, Rachel Botsman says we're "wired to share" -- and shows how websites like Zipcar and Swaptree are changing the rules of human behavior.
