You'll own nothing and be happy
"You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" (alternatively "You'll own nothing and be happy") is a phrase published by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and based on a 2016 essay by the Danish politician Ida Auken about a future in which a hypothetical person relies on the sharing economy for many of their needs. The phrase from the article "Welcome to 2030", and the philosophies expressed within it, have been used by critics who accuse the WEF of desiring restrictions on ownership of personal property.
