Co-ops date back almost 200 years, run by groups of people that work together to own and operate a company. What does it look like when this tried-and-true business model merges with the digital economy? Trebor Scholz introduces the “platform cooperative,” a new way to create democratic companies of empowered workers — and develop a better, fairer alternative to the gig economy.

      @Lily Gazou +1, people subscribe because they think your videos are valuable
      Are your videos useful to you? Your friends? A random stranger?

    • Lily Gazou

      @Sergnio I think you meant that comment for Toby. I’m not in need of subscriber numbers.

    Use cryptos. Decentralized crypto is more democratic than centralized Federal Reserve dollar owned by the greedy billionaires.

    Hierarchy by itself is not a problem as long as it is not privileged , not orchestrated and not ossified!! If the economy promotes social mobility it is (somewhat) palatable!!.

    I love it.

    But what does that mean probably, when in competition with “capitalist” or “individualist” enterprise? These nice people will give themselves solid salaries and offer a solid price to their customer. Plus some small amount to run the platform and pay the management. So what does the individualist industrialist do with that exhorbitant 50 per cent markup that he/she takes from the workers? Pays lawyers and lobbyists to make regulation and obstacles go away. Pays amazing accounts to make taxes (mostly) go away. Pays development team and invests into innovation (robotic house cleaners, robotic taxis or whatever). And pays for advertisement so that the customers will know almost exclusively them. Attracts investors that will foot additional costs for developement and growth.

    I feel like I know where this is going. Still, I would support that idea gladly, but the closest digital co-op is like 500 km from where I live.

    Co-op work places and co-op living spaces can be a viable solution for the continuous privatization of our natural resources now shifting to real estate and other commodities.

    The gig economy is the ultimate solution, not something that needs replacing.
