Abstract

Rapid growth of sharing economy in the last two decades may signal a paradigm shift in global capitalism and societal values. Digital platforms have brought together strangers with under-utilized capacities and assets with those who need them without looking for ownership. The radius of trust which was initially confined to family, friends and local communities; now encompasses strangers who speak no common language and who live oceans apart. Trust driven by Digital Identity (DI) and Trust and Reputation Information (TRI) have enabled what was considered as improbable or even impossible some years ago. Further expansion and deepening of trust, based on new technologies combined with international legal framework, has the potential to rewrite the apparatus of modern capitalism and societal values. Civil society and governments need to engage on this issue to guide them to a direction most beneficial for the society. However, the current extraordinary situation due to the Corona Virus pandemic, coupled with foreseeable tendencies for complete digital control, is likely to have far-reaching impact on the future development of sharing economy.

在信任中，我们蓬勃发展：是什么推动了共享经济？

共享经济在过去二十年的快速增长可能标志着全球资本主义和社会价值观的范式转变。数字平台将能力和资产利用不足的陌生人与需要他们的人聚集在一起，而不需要寻找所有权。最初仅限于家人、朋友和当地社区的信任半径；现在包括那些不会说共同语言、生活在大洋彼岸的陌生人。数字身份（DI）和信任与信誉信息（TRI）驱动的信任实现了几年前被认为不可能甚至不可能的事情。在新技术与国际法律框架相结合的基础上，进一步扩大和加深信任，有可能改写现代资本主义的机器和社会价值观。民间社会和政府需要参与这一问题，引导他们朝着对社会最有利的方向发展。然而，冠状病毒大流行导致的当前特殊情况，加上完全数字化控制的可预见趋势，可能会对共享经济的未来发展产生深远影响。
