The sharing economy boomed in 2014. By year’s end there were close to 8,000 businesses whose goal was to increase sharing. Additionally, governments and big business are taking a hard look at the sharing economy and seeing a promising future. Finally, controversies over house sharing platform Airbnb and ride sharing company Uber are subsiding, and often in the favor of those who want to share. Hopefully this is an indicator that 2015 will be just as full of wonderful shares!
