I think the sharing economy works well, but I also agree with the article. I just don’t think AirBNB, Uber and the others are the sharing economy. They are platform economies where the platform wins and it’s workers are at a race for the bottom on minimal pay and no rights. We have a Danish app for taking people with you when you travel between towns. This is an aspect where public transportation unfortunately sucks after decades of conservatives in government, but it’s also an area where there is no taxa service or Uber styles thing because it’s too expensive. But sharing the gas price with strangers when you’re going anyway absolutely works. There is a platform for it, but their primary source of income comes from their leasing services. I’d say that is an example of the sharing economy, because it’s actually people sharing and not just some no-workers-rights shithole.
