Twisting Words to Make ‘Sharing’ Apps Seem Selfless

From the beginning, "the sharing economy" seemed a cynical phrase to me.

About all I know about it is uber and abb. People seem to like it, but nothing is "shared," money changes hands. What is most obvious to me is that it's a way to participate in a regulated and licensed industry without following regulations or obtaining licenses.

This is not a statement for or against, just an observation.
