Description

Platform Capitalism by Nick Srnicek explores how major firms are transforming themselves into platforms, businesses that provide the foundation for others to operate on. This shift signals a significant change in capitalist firms' operations and their interactions with the economy. The book examines the emergence of platform capitalism, tracing its roots from the 1970s downturn to the 2008 crisis and its ongoing impact. It reveals how fundamental economic foundations are being carved up among a small number of monopolistic platforms, posing challenges to post-capitalist visions. Understanding these transformations is crucial for grasping how powerful tech companies shape the global economy. This book provides essential insights into platform capitalism's implications for our economic future.
