Platform Cooperativism: The Missing Link in Building a Sustainable Collaborative Economy

Summary

Collaborative platforms might doing new things from the outside, but they are certainly not new when you look at how they are organised and financed: the inside. This issue is now extremely relevant since more and more people are working via platforms and are getting more and more dependent to them. A solution to this issue is what some call platform cooperativism.

At OuiShare Fest 2016 in Paris I talked to Nathan Schneider, an evangelist of platform cooperativism and organiser of a great conference about this subject in New York last year.
