The next leap forward in the code-ification of trust and markets is in the so-called sharing economy. I think of the sharing economy as a way of making a market out of anything and a microentrepreneur out of anybody. The sharing economy uses a combination of technology platforms packaged as apps on mobile phones, behavioral science, and mobile phone location data to create peer-to-peer marketplaces. These marketplaces take underused assets (e.g., an empty apartment, empty seats in a car, or skill as a math tutor) and connect them with people looking for a specific service.
