The Share Economy
Online peer-to-peer marketplaces allow users to share everything from cars, apartments and parking spots to kids' clothes, fruit and even leftovers. These websites are part of a booming "share economy" that is changing the way participants think about ownership and community. We talk with the founders of some share sites. What have you shared, and what are you willing to share?
Host: Scott Shafer
