Add your own review!

Overview

The platform economy, powered by companies like Airbnb, Uber and Deliveroo, promised to revolutionise the way we work and live. But what are the actual benefits to our society and economy? This book interrogates the 'sharing economy', showing how platform capitalism is not only shaped by business decisions, but is a result of struggles involving social movements, consumer politics and state interventions. It focuses in particular on the controversial tactics used by platform giants to avoid regulation. Drawing on cutting-edge research and analysis, this book provides a critical overview of this important topic, and imagines the different possible futures of the platform economy.
