From the Corporate Sharing Economy to Platform Cooperativism

Cases such as Airbnb, Uber or eBay have popularised the concept of sharing economy. Digital platforms allow for the exchange of products and services, defying the business model of traditional companies. In many cases, though, the expansion of these platforms goes against the rights of their workforces. All these dilemmas and their alternatives will be discussed by Trebor Scholz, who is presenting his book Platform Cooperativism. Challenging the Corporate Sharing Economy  (Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, 2016).
