  •  
    "what do we mean with 'sharing economy'? What kind of positive innovations or possible criticalities might this socio-economic model bring? Does 'sharing' really represent an alternative to capitalism, or an example of its transformation? In which areas, and how, is the way of doing business in society changing as a result of the diffusion of 'sharing economies'?"

    "This paper uses Transformative Social Innovation theory to develop a comparative analysis of Shareable's Sharing Cities Network and Airbnb's Home Sharing Clubs. It argues that narrative framing of the sharing economy for community empowerment and grassroots mobilisation have been used by Shareable to drive a "sharing transformation" and by Aitbnb through "regulatory hacking" to influence urban policy".

Organizing and Governing the Commons: A Coop-Commons Multilevel Dialogue with Municipal... - 0 views

  •  
    "s the history of crises has shown, people and people-based organisations react against the devastating effects of changes and persist in the search for innovative solutions. New ideas and practices have been proposed; there have been experiments with new forms of organizations and ways of working. Some of them, such as the "sharing economy", were immediately captured by emergent, digitally-based capitalist companies, but others created more ambitious and innovative initiatives. In recent years, certain concepts and experiences have interconnected with one another and existing initiatives. New forms of solidarity, reciprocity, property and collective governance are being analyzed, reimagined and promoted through the logic of the Commons, Platform Cooperativism and the Social and Solidarity Economy."

To Create a Real Sharing Economy, Think Replication - Not Just Scale | P2P Foundation - 0 views

  •  
    "Philanthropists today should follow the instructive example of Edward Filene. Filene played a leading role in developing an institution that allowed ordinary people to build their own wealth - credit unions, a high-impact model that could be and has been replicated. Philanthropists should use their resources to help do the same across a whole range of new institutions including sharing cities, platform cooperatives, and much more. This will help ordinary people build and access wealth, reduce resource consumption, and reweave the social fabric"

The False Choice Between Automation and Jobs - 2 views

  • We live in a world where productivity, a key pillar of long-term economic growth, has crumbled. In the United States, Europe, and other advanced economies, productivity growth has slowed so drastically in the past decade that economists debate whether we have entered a new era of stagnation
  • Now comes potential help, in the form of advanced robotics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, which can already outperform humans
  • not just (or even mainly) in terms of reducing labor costs: automation can also bring whole new business models, and improvements that go beyond human capabilities, such as increasing throughput and quality and raising the speed of responses in a variety of industries. Automation will give the global economy that much-needed productivity boost, even as it enables us to tackle societal “moonshots” such as curing disease or contributing solutions to the climate change challenge

  • The catch is that adopting these technologies will disrupt the world of work
  • Three other priorities stand out:
  • a much sharper focus on skills and training. That means reversing the trend of declining government spending on training that is apparent in many OECD countries. It also means a stepped-up role for companies, which will be on the front line of automation adoption and will know better and faster which skills are required
  • making the labor market more fluid, including by more active use of digital technologies for job matching and for stimulating the rise of independent work. In fact, the dynamism of labor markets is waning: in the United States, for example, the job reallocation rate dropped by 25% between 1990 and 2013, and the share of workers relocating across state lines annually has fallen by half, to close to 1.5%.
  • Government, businesses, educational institutions, and labor organizations need to collaborate to ensure that incumbents and new entrants to the labor market have accurate forward-looking knowledge of the evolving mix of skill and experience requirements
  • reevaluation of income and transition support to help displaced workers or those struggling with transitions to new occupations. Germany set an example here by revamping its labor agency and putting an emphasis on acquiring skills. Its labor participation rate has risen by 10 percentage points since reunification, to above the U.S. level
  • James Manyika is the San Francisco-based director of the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI)

    "The catch is that adopting these technologies will disrupt the world of work. No less significant than the jobs that will be displaced are the jobs that will change-and those that will be created. New research by the McKinsey Global institute suggests that roughly 15% of the global workforce could be displaced by 2030 in a midpoint scenario, but that the jobs likely created will make up for those lost. There is an important proviso: that economies sustain high economic growth and dynamism, coupled with strong trends that will drive demand for work. Even so, between 75 million to 375 million people globally may need to switch occupational categories by 2030, depending on how quickly automation is adopted."

New Report on Inclusive Sharing Economy Falls Short - 0 views

  •  
    Article qui porte sur un rapport de Business for Social Responsibility, qui cherche à encourager la participation des populations défavorisées à l'économie collaborative, en tant que contributeurs et qu'utilisateurs. D'après l'auteur, le rapport souffre toutefois de trois limites majeures : - En premier lieu, le rapport dresse un bilan très optimiste de l'impact des plateformes « for profit » : par exemple, il indique que Airbnb a un impact annuel de 312 millions d'euros à Los Angeles, occultant le fait que cette plateforme et d'autres ont un effet sur la crise du logement (abordable) dans les grandes villes ; - Ensuite, le rapport mentionne surtout les plateformes de partage « for profit » ; - Enfin, le rapport ne fait aucune proposition sur la manière dont les plateformes pourraient partager leur propriété ou leur gouvernance.
