Most of the Western world’s financial and commercial activity occurs within what we’ve come to call the Industrial Growth Economy. This economy has been around since the start of the industrial age roughly a couple of centuries ago. It requires exponential (and ultimately unsustainable) growth in production and consumption of goods and services to survive. It also requires the use of ‘fiat currency’ (state-issued notes, deemed by the state to have value) for all transactions.

Cities are ideal for sharing things like bikes, cars, and office space--just look at the growth of bike-sharing around the world. The advantages are obvious. Sharing makes use of idle resources (like cars sitting in parking lots), and has the potential to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. Every car shared is another that's not on the road, which reduces congestion, pollution, and noise.
