About this audiobook
Editor's Note
Disruptive…
<i>The Upstarts</i> is a study of the rise of the sharing economy—focusing on Airbnb and Uber—but is more than just a laudatory profile of two successful companies. Stone analyzes the shifting marketplace and regulatory loopholes that made such disruptive companies possible, and the challenges they face and present to communities and existent industries.
