This paper proposes that sharing tangible and intangible assets with others in a peer-to-peer process is imbedded in every economic transaction, and that sharing has been an everyday economic activity throughout history. The paper proposes that utilizing one’s needed goods and services in any economy can only be possible through sharing, and that all individuals in are participants of sharing as owners or utilizers of assets. The paper hypothesizes that any given individual cannot own all their needed tangible and intangible assets to produce the needed goods and services because ownership is bounded and limited. The paper also hypothesizes that employees of any given organization are sharing their skills and knowledge with other individuals in an indirect peer-to-peer relationship, and their employers are facilitating the sharing process. Five hypotheses are proposed in this paper, and discussion with examples are included to provide rationale for each hypothesis.
