In this episode, Gaelle explains the concept of the sharing economy, also called collaborative consumption. From its utopic beginnings in California to the giants that have now emerged like AirBnB and Uber, you will get a clear understanding of the principles and how it has evolved in the past 15 years. Gaelle will also tell you about France, where the concept is applied widely, with some national startups that are still true to the initial values.
