Matthew Feeney joins us for a discussion on how the so-called "sharing economy" undermines the regulatory establishment and makes people's lives better.
Nathan Blecharczyk, co-founder and chief technology officer of Airbnb, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about Airbnb, one of the earliest companies to use technology to allow individuals to share underused resources, and in the case of Airbnb, housing. Blecharczyk and Roberts discuss how a design conference and the Democratic National Convention got Airbnb started, how the company aligns incentives to overcome the trust problem of house-sharing, and the rise of technology and online social networks to make a new business model possible. Along the way, Blecharczyk gives his take on the role of luck vs. skill in entrepreneurial success and how Airbnb plans to expand its product offerings in the future.

The sharing economy is a major economic social and cultural movement, redefining the way goods and services are exchanged – in a bid to make the world a better place. That shift is driven by technology, with social platforms allowing the sharing of goods, services and ideas.
