Platform Cooperatives with Trebor Scholz

  • Summary

  • Platform cooperatives reimagine a world where domestic workers can double their income by establishing their platform. On this internet, platforms such as Twitch, Twitter, and Roblox are owned by their streamers, users, and creators. What if small fishing communities in Mexico or farmers in Kerala had the power to determine what data they collected about their work and how they utilized that data? Platform cooperatives are not a figment of the romantic imagination, but rather a reality transforming industries today. Collectives that leverage technology offer an urgent and practical solution to shift how businesses are owned and controlled, allowing workers to make decisions together. In this book, researcher and activist Trebor Scholz explores how these new forms of business, powered by peer principles, are paving the way for a more equitable economy that benefits everyone.
