Paul Mason interviews Felix Weth l Platform cooperativism l Meaning 2016

Summary

We live in an age of platform capitalism. The term ‘sharing’ has been hijacked by online monopolies like Amazon, Uber and Airbnb, who dictate the terms of business to those who supply services or products. At Meaning, Paul Mason introduces us to Felix Weth and Fairmondo – an organisation which proves that true collaboration is possible. Fairmondo is a platform co-op: a connected marketplace where the technology, power and profit lie in the hands of its users. Meaning is the annual gathering for people who believe business can and must be a force for positive change in our dynamic and volatile world. It happens in Brighton, UK every November and brings together an audience of 350 passionate people who want to be part of the solution to the challenges of our time.
