The dominance of the platform economy

The Internet was supposed to liberate us from powerful
institutions. But the reality might be he who fights too long
against dragons becomes a dragon himself. In this episode of the
Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro and Fabian Stephany invite
Vili Lehdonvirta to present his latest book, Cloud Empires, where
he explains how Silicon Valley technologists end up recreating
digital forms of the very institutions that they were trying to
render obsolete. They also discuss the labour market.
