Ainda há dias, aqui, escrevi:
"não creio que a Uber e outras empresas do género venham para ficar, não será sobre elas que se construirá o futuro da partilha e aluguer em Mongo."Em Janeiro último, aqui, escrevi:
"Por que é que a procura e a oferta vão continuar a precisar destas mega-plataformas? Por que é que oferta e procura hão-de condescender, no médio-prazo, em pagar um imposto revolucionário para o dono da plataforma, quando vai ser fácil para a oferta ter a sua própria plataforma?"Em Dezembro último, aqui, escrevi:
"A Uber, desde a entrada dos investidores grandes, está a pavimentar o caminho para que a geração seguinte de empresas de partilha lhe tome o lugar com facilidade. Não se pode ser competitivo desenvolvendo péssimas relações com os trabalhadores e clientes."Projectos como a Uber são importantes porque representam a vanguarda revolucionária, têm o poder do dinheiro para enfrentar os poderosos grupos instalados, cumprirão o seu papel, para depois, abrir caminho para o desenvolvimento natural de estruturas muito mais pequenas e autónomas, independentes.

Entretanto, ontem via Twitter, chego a "Platform Cooperativism vs. the Sharing Economy" que traduz muito bem o que penso que será a direcção para a economia de Mongo:
"There isn’t just one, inevitable future of work. Let us apply the power of our technological imagination to practice forms of cooperation and collaboration. Worker–owned cooperatives could design their own apps-based platforms, fostering truly peer-to-peer ways of providing services and things, and speak truth to the new platform capitalists.Vejo muito mais futuro nesta evolução cooperativa porque está em sintonia com a filosofia de Mongo.
...
Entities like Uber, Ola, Quick Cabs, TaxiForSure, or Lyft are quite vulnerable because their technology can be duplicated. But of course, when you see how regulation is steered by costly PR campaigns in big cities, when you see how ever-increasing brand awareness tilts the network effect in favor of Uber and airbnb, when you notice the co-financing for new cars offered for Uber drivers, and when you understand that insurance for passengers is costing an arm and a leg, then you remind yourself of the old saying: money talks.
...
Instead of counting down to next month’s apocalypse, let’s make the idea of worker-owned cooperatives using ride ordering apps more plausible.
...
Teachout recently proposed that one of the pathologies of the current system is that it trains people to be followers. I might add that it trains people to think of themselves as workers instead of collective owners.
.
An app with the basic functionality of UberX can be duplicated and improved upon by independent developers who are working in tandem with cooperatives. From the very beginning, the development process would have to be steered by workers and developers. Ever more sophisticated crowd funding schemes, using bit coin, could support such efforts.
...
Uber can influence regulation on a city level and might even be able to sway national labor laws. And perhaps, but really just perhaps, these templates, created at the frontiers of regulation will then be taken on or over by worker cooperatives who could benefit from established guidelines."

"The future of capitalism may depend on whether firms create a much larger number of capitalists than they do today. Everybody will benefit, if, in the future, a larger number of workers think like owners and act like long-term investors. A sense of ownership should be the difference between firms and markets."
Será que esta é uma faceta da reacção dos trabalhadores contra as mega-plataformas?
