[Elisabeth Voss]

Platform Cooperativism vs. the Sharing Economy

// http://www.rosalux.de/event/53713

Talk and Discussion with Trebor Scholz (New School, New York/USA).

Labor companies associated with the so-called sharing economy, including 
Uber and TaskRabbit, show an utter lack of concern for their workers. 
What if the algorithmic heart of any of these citadels of anti-unionism 
could be cloned and brought back to life under a different ownership 
model, with fair working conditions, as a humane alternative to the free 
market model.

Worker-owned cooperatives could design their own apps-based platforms, 
fostering truly peer-to-peer ways of providing services and things, and 
speak truth to the new platform capitalists.

*Trebor Scholz* is a cross-disciplinary writer, artist, educator, and 
catalyst. His work is positioned to study the Internet and its cultural, 
political, legal, philosophical, and policy-making implications, 
especially in the areas of digital work, self-organized learning, and 
global media activism. He is an associate professor at The New School in 
New York City.

Moderation: *Marina Sitrin* (Berlin/New York)

/Please note that the talk and discussion will be in English. Free entry./
