The global debt crisis of mega proportions is heading towards the collapse of our economic systems. Posing as one of the existential threats to humanity, the perpetually increasing debt/GDP ratio projected to rise to 1300% by 2030 has no cure unless a radical new approach replaces or complements our current scarcity-focused, centralization-prone economic approaches. One such approach evolved from the 2008 economic crisis that resulted in the birth of a technology that made decentralization of any ecosystem free of human biases and prejudices. Hailed as the greatest advancement since the invention of the internet, blockchain is a liberating force of the digital age and a potential enabler of the 21 st -century sharing economy (Sharonomics) that transforms scarcity-centered legacy economic systems to one of abundance. Tokenizing that planetary abundance to offset the massive global debt may be a utopian dream at the present time but by applying the law of accelerating returns to the technology advancements of this century, a credible path can be hypothesized and pursued. The principle aim of this research is to provide theoretical support to such a hypothesis suggesting future research avenues towards a possible solution. The research methodology follows the narrative and integrative literature review approach based on peer-reviewed reports.

Economics has always been the epicenter of our gender-skewed sociocultural legacy that eluded inclusiveness, equality, and sustainability for centuries. Our traditional scarcity based economic theories need serious rethinking as the exponential rise in world GDP, and billions of daily social media shares tell us that 21st century economics has transformed from one of scarcity to one of abundance, from capitalized silos to peer-shared collectives. The principal objective of this research was to identify major lacunae in our existing centralized economic systems and deploy technology to render them more democratic, equitable, inclusive and sustainable. For a proof-of-concept our methodology deployed blockchain technology to decentralize the ecosystem, harvest the economic abundance, share, and redistribute the abundance from those who "have" to those who "need" making the dynamics of today's sharing economy (Sharonomics), more equitable, inclusive and sustainable. This paper is the first demonstration of a theoretical feasibility of such Sharonomics ecosystem that monetizes the influence of abundance to achieve sustainability via hedonistic motivations for democratic wealth redistribution, seamlessly, autonomously, and altruism-agnostically. This paper provides the implications of this research and suggests future research avenues highlighting the policy recommendations for implementing Sharonomics around the world.
