R. Trebor Scholz is a scholar-activist and founding director of the Platform Cooperativism Consortium (PCC) and the Institute for the Cooperative Digital Economy at The New School in New York City. In 2014, he introduced the concept of “platform cooperativism” as a way of bringing the co-op model into the digital economy. Scholz’s articles and ideas have appeared in The Nation, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Washington Post, Le Monde, and The New York Times, among many other publications.
Praise for Uberworked and Underpaid -- : Bringing together the rich and long tradition of cooperativism and worker self-management with the digital economy of the 21st century, Scholz's timely and groundbreaking new book provides both in-depth analysis and practical steps to make the Internet economy truly work for all who most rely on it -- Zeynep Tufecki, author of <i>Twitter and tear Gas</i> A unsparing and bracing critique of platform capitalism. Moreover, he's developed a blueprint for transcending it: a tough-minded platform cooperativism that eschews the utopianism of sharing economy bromides. Anyone concerned about the future of work should read this book. -- Frank Pasquale, author of <i>The Black Box Society</i> Passionately and sharply tracks down the dark side of the sharing economy, that is the reduction of labor to a cheap and disposable commodity, without protections or benefits. Scholz's book is an invaluable contribution to a much needed reinvention of a socialism for the 21st century. -- Tiziana Terranova, author of <i>Network Culture: Politics for the Information Age</i>
