What if taxi drivers in New York City or rickshaw operators in
Bangalore could start a worker-owned and-operated alternative to
Uber with stable hourly wages? Platform cooperatives reimagine a
world where domestic workers can double their income by
establishing their own platform-an internet where platforms such as
Twitch, Twitter, and Roblox were 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 utopian imagination,
but rather a reality that is 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. Own This! sets out a program that
could change the ways we live, work, and organize.
