Catching my eye in the last few days:

– As I wrote in Grist: mixing financial incentives with the sharing economy affects both intentions and outcomes.

– The library is one of the most obvious and entrenched manifestations of the sharing economy.  As the nature of books changes, libraries are discovering other things to be shared.

– The history and incentives behind bottle redemption.

– Our economic approach is short-sighted and cannibalizing.  Does it have to be?  (Answer: not if we decide to pursue different goals.)
