Could digital platforms be more than just apps for short-term gigs and on-demand jobs?
This book shows how the digital solidarity economy offers a bold alternative, where cooperation, fairness and sustainability reshape work and technology.
Through Latin American case studies, it uncovers innovative business models, governance structures and regulatory experiments, revealing how grassroots initiatives challenge inequalities and environmental pressures. Drawing on rich dialogues between researchers and workers, it connects theory with practice to imagine a future where digital labour empowers communities rather than exploits them.
This is a vital guide for anyone curious about rethinking the rules of work and building digital economies that serve people and planet.
