A first approach is based on the model of the production of goods and sees in cooperation the possibility of transforming the considerable crowd of Internet users into as many potential contributors. In a second sense, the collaborative economy refers rather to the model of a service economy, by having services provided directly by Internet users among themselves. In both cases, under different modalities, we are witnessing a complete reversal of the underlying economic models. They redefine the boundaries between amateurs and professionals, between market and non-market, they question the question of the sustainability of these models and have, more broadly, consequences at all levels of society: infrastructures, types of enterprise, nature of services, individual and collective practices, forms of entrepreneurship...
