Alternativ økonomi#14: Hva om vi eide Uber selv?I denne episoden hører vi om delingsøkonomien/plattformøkonomien, om hvilke problemer som finnes i den delen av økonomien, og om en alternativ måte å organsiere denne typen selskap på. I plattformøkonomien er en plattform ulike apper og nettsider som brukes for å knytte kjøpere og selgere sammen, eller organisere ulike tjenester. Store, kjente eksempler er Uber og Airbnb. Blant aktører i plattformøkonomien ser man ofte eksempler på dårlige arbeidsbetingelser, lave lønninger og liten skattebetaling. Som et alternativ til dette, tar vi i denne episoden for oss plattform-kooperativet. Slike bedrifter leverer det sam...

How can especially workers on the edge of society respond to the numerous "disruptions" on the horizon including automation and algorithmic decision making as well as unanticipated and unpredictable changes? In his keynote, Scholz proposes an economic, political, and cultural alternative that responds to these challenges by driving the economic domain into...
