Paperback. Condition: New. A Wired Magazine Top Tech Book of 2017Real democracy and the Internet are not mutually exclusive.Here, for the first time in one volume, are some of the most cogent thinkers and doers on the subject of the cooptation of the Internet, and how we can resist and reverse the process. The activists who have put together Ours to Hack and to Own argue for a new kind of online economy: platform cooperativism, which combines the rich heritage of cooperatives with the promise of 21st-century technologies, free from monopoly, exploitation, and surveillance.The on-demand economy is reversing the rights and protections workers fought for centuries to win. Ordinary Internet users, meanwhile, retain little control over their personal data. While promising to be the great equalizers, online platforms have often exacerbated social inequalities. Can the Internet be owned and governed differently? What if Uber drivers set up their own platform, or if a city's residents controlled their own version of Airbnb? This book shows that another kind of Internet is possible-and that, in a new generation of online platforms, it is already taking shape.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. What if taxi drivers were in charge of their own digital platform? At a time when there are so few concrete, near-term solutions to the power of large technology companies, the crisis in the care sector, and threats to democracy, Platform Cooperatives offer an urgent and practical solution to change how businesses are owned and controlled. In Own This!, researcher and activist Trebor Scholz provides valuable insights into this global digital uprising, powered by democratic ownership and shared decision-making. Scholz will take you to the south of India, where a digital cooperative of farmers brings their harvest directly to market; to New York City, where a worker-owned and operated alternative to Uber is transforming piece-rate gig economy precarity into good jobs with stable hourly wages; to Belgium, where artists benefit from the payroll and tax services of a platform cooperative; and to Italy, where a short-term rental platform shares half of its profits with the communities in which it operates. 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? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condition: New. Winner of the First Prize in the Joyce Rothschild Book AwardsPlatform 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.
