Sharing economy 20 April

On the 20th of April at 14:30-16:00, D-CENT coordinator Francesca Bria presents at workshop titled “Sharing economy”.

Our current era of ‘prosumerism’ is characterized by two visible trends. On the one hand, corporations such as Google, Uber or Facebook are capturing the value created by the actors contributing to the collaborative economy, in a way that has been described by its critics as an exploitation of free labour.
On the other hand, decentralized projects such as Wikipedia or GNU/Linux are based on contributions from individuals collaborating to a collective project that is not owned by any given entity but rather communitarian.
