There isn’t just one, inevitable future of work. Let us apply the power of our technological imagination to practice forms of cooperation and collaboration. Worker–owned cooperatives could design their own apps-based platforms, fostering truly peer-to-peer ways of providing services and things, and speak truth to the new platform capitalists.
The main argument that the research puts forward is that platform is such new business model. It has ancient roots, but its modern application provides a unique opportunity for addressing organizational, economic, social, and political problems of the 21st century.
The future of work is in our hands – let’s construct it together!

Waste pollution is one of the biggest and most urgent global challenges mankind faces today. This issue increases together with population growth, fast technological progress and is constantly reinforced by capitalism driven overproduction. Modern societies experience incredibly dangerous moment in history, with highest social inequality rates ever, escalation of various -isms, along with short-sighted populism that both harm democracy and endanger minority groups. Individual people and whole communities suffer social apathy considering themselves powerless and unable to take actions to influence ongoing global processes in line with their best interests and values.
Prop 22 is expected to put more cars on the road, which is particularly concerning because a recent study found that Uber and Lyft were responsible for about half of San Francisco’s increase in congestion between 2010 and 2016. Transportation is also the largest contributor to U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Allowing these companies to expand without giving workers’ the ability to organize is a huge obstacle to the fight for a just and carbon-free transit sector.

Stocksy United is a platform co-op where businesses, consumers, and graphic designers can find beautiful and compelling stock content to license for usage in design, presentations, ads, etc. The artists are paid a relatively high percentage of the royalties generated by each image sale: 50% on standard licenses and 75% on extended licenses. On top of that, in the event of year-end company surplus, Stocksy shares this surplus with its artists in the form of patronage.
