I find it baffling that the author so fluidly transitions between an indictment of fixed cost rent extraction to "Regardless of its criticism, the sharing economy is expected to generate revenues up to ..." The criticism waged against the new middlemen is effectively that the sharing economy is not 'a change of systemic concentration of wealth' and not 'a systematic change of finance', but rather a changing of hands and an obscuring of it. To follow this so whimsically with 'younger generations ... more empowered' and 'the world has changed' makes me question whether the author comprehended the articles he linked to.
