Abstract

Thanks to the spread of internet technologies, there has recently been a significant upsurge of innovative forms of human cooperation. In an ecosystem characterized by unsteadiness and parceled relations, crowdfunding has quickly become one of the most popular expression of the new wave of the sharing economy philosophies. Although it is undeniable that the success of crowdfunding has increased during a dramatic financial period, characterized by a wide-ranging credit crunch, we can't interpret this phenomenon just as a fade or as a side effect of the economic crisis. However, through a multidisciplinary approach of analysis and through a qualitative explorative research it will be possible to observe what type of solidarity this system is currently promoting.
