The scenario

The current economic crisis mainly reflects a general crisis of values. The collapse of the tradi-tional logic of profits urges each of us to look a new, sustainable models.No more bending over backwards, trying to cope with the uncertainty of casual work, rather a new kind of community, overcaming individualism in order to build an articulated economy, based on interaction and collaboration with others.

Social capitalism is an entrepreneurship made up of individuals helping each other to improve their quality of life.

A new economy

Many doubt that Sharing Economy can produce real advantage. Yet some of the most important websites specifically dedicated to it, thanks to the collaboration of their users, have achieved impressive results. The model is widespread, low cost economy, making it possibile to buy a service, often offered by other users, in a sustainable way.

Collaboration is its added value. Saving money is its strategy. Absence of intermediation is its competitive advantage.

Obstacles

What prevents Italian companies in operating in the filed of digital service today? Sharing Economy projects prefer a short opera-tional chain (peer to peer, without intermedia-ries), therefore it is evident that there are too many lobbies and interest groups, excessive regulations, and heavy bureaucratic system to deal with.

As a result, the most important Sharing Eco-nomy platforms are foreign based, while Italy is still suffering from serious delay.

is not just a word

Social innovation

It is evident that the advantages of coopera-tive behaviour cannot be limited to a mere economic dimension. Increasingly, Sharing Economy projects reward social innovation, expressing, as an added value, a concrete and positive impact on quantity of life and on values underlying communities.

Sustainability, innovation, societing, community-building, requalification, integra-tion. Social innovation is a product, a pro-cess, an idea leading to the betterment of our society.
