From corner coffee shops to Fortune 500 companies, workers from all different backgrounds are creating a new reality and prosperity. The Rise of the Naked Economy shows readers how to achieve both personal and professional success in an economy that does not guarantee lifetime employment. Pioneers Coonerty and Neuner report from the front lines on the future of work. From the recently graduated to the recently laid off, this book covers how the rise in non-traditional employment calls for a new infrastructure, strategy, and attitude for workers, companies, and communities alike. Through interviews with the people, companies, and policymakers who are leading the change and already profiting from it, The Rise of the Naked Economy provides an optimistic, humorous, and inspirational vision for readers who want reclaim their lives and livelihoods.

Plus, it's fun to read!" —Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of Steve Jobs and CEO of the Aspen Institute “The Rise of the Naked Economy captures the tremendous challenges and opportunities for the Creative Class as they redefine work.

Read this book — and join the movement!" —Sara Horowitz, founder of Freelancers Union and author of The Freelancer's Bible "A refreshing take on how to make the global economy work for you, The Rise of the Naked Economy upends what we know about collaboration, co-working, and what makes businesses today thrive. This is a manifesto for anyone who wants to change the way we work." —David Gelles, The Financial Times and author of Mindful Work "How refreshing to receive clear, useful advice about how to thrive in the economy we actually live in, as opposed to the one we long for in the past. The Rise of the Naked Economy will wake you up, inspire you and get you prepared to live, work and prosper in the 21st Century." —Pamela Slim, author of Escape from Cubicle Nation “The Rise of the Naked Economy gives a fresh new way to think about our work, our cities, and our society." —Tony Hsieh, New York Times bestselling author of Delivering Happiness and CEO of Zappos.com, Inc. “The expectations of this workforce combined with the millennial generation will force the workplace to change. This book gives a leader insights into what makes that new evolved worker tick, and how the change in the marketplace has to occur to unleash this global talent. To figure out how to leverage this talent will be the competitive advantage for any business as our historic ‘contract’ with employees is no longer valid. A must read." —Pat Wadors, VP, Global Talent Organization, LinkedIn "For anyone engaged in the Innovation Economy, or hoping to better understand today's mobile, agile workforce, The Rise of the Naked Economy is an insightful, interesting and enjoyable read.
