Описание: Reputation capital will lead to an economy that is incredibly empowering, taking us away from a financial world "based largely on faceless transactions and moving us to an age built on humanness that we [have] lost", says Rachel Botsman.

Author of What's Mine is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption, Botsman has spoken extensively on the rise of the sharing economy. At Wired Money, however, she described the insights she has developed for her latest book on the reputation economy, which will surely drive that sharing economy into every and all sectors.

"Personal reputation is being transformed and it's going to become a currency and cornerstone of our society in the next decade," said Botsman. "We're only in day one and undisputedly the road ahead will be messy. I believe it will be a good thing because it will create more accountability and transparency in ways we can't imagine. If a system assesses all real estate agents, we'll never have to use bad ones again. In a world full of distrust and ponzey schemes it's very empowering that what we were taught [rings true again]: how we treat people and how we behave will ultimately drive our world."
