Rather than seeking to rein in disruptive businesses such as Airbnb and Uber, governments should introduce regulations that enable their sustained growth, while looking for ways to leverage their technologies and entrepreneurial approaches to boost social welfare. Such policies include online education courses for the unemployed, digital workers’ insurance, virtual unionization, and tax policies geared for the sharing economy.
保护工人和消费者是关键，保护让个别行业免受新商业模式冲击无法阻挡新一轮转型潮。政府不应该阻挡Airbnb和Uber等破坏性企业，而应该引入监管使它们能够持续增长，同时寻求利用它们的技术和企业家方法提高社会福利。这类政策包括为失业者提供在线教育课程、数字化员工保险、虚拟工会化和适合共享经济的税收政策。
