Platform Economics takes a comprehensive approach to addressing the rhetoric surrounding the so-called "sharing economy," which has hindered public discourse and resulted in a lack of policy and regulatory intervention. The book delves into the complexities of the sharing economy debate by examining the language used by participants in this ecosystem and mapping key aspects of digital labor markets. The platform is explored as both a source of innovation and economic growth and a subject of policy concern regarding competition, tax collection, consumer protection, privacy, and the transparency of algorithms. The authors demonstrate that actors within the sharing economy have not only capitalized on narratives that characterize the early stages of the sharing movement but have also successfully enlisted diverse interests as their allies.
The authors' research specifically highlights the anticipated rise of technological unemployment alongside widespread concerns about job automation. Advocating an interdisciplinary approach that brings together economics, sociology, anthropology, legal studies, and rhetorical analysis, this text offers valuable insights to students, researchers, and economists alike. By unraveling the complexities of the sharing economy, Platform Economics contributes to a more informed and nuanced understanding of this rapidly evolving sector.
