<div dir="ltr"><div>Greetings from balmy New York City. It has been exciting to read through all of your proposals and now the introductions, and posts to the mailing list. </div><div><br></div><div>This is just as good a time as any to jump in and say hello, starting with a reference to a short intervention that I just wrote for Public Seminar, trying to decompress my thoughts about the so-called "sharing economy." I will just leave it at that and see if there is anybody on the list who has followed the protests against Uber, and the regulatory efforts concerning Airbnb.</div>
