Abstract

This article attempts to descriptively characterize the impact of the sharing economy, using Uber as an example, on the social welfare of those people working via the app. For this purpose, the author proposes a theoretical concept of a technologically networked economy, which is a component of a broader heuristic model of a technologically networked reality. Furthermore, a critical review of the different approaches to the sharing economy and the diverse practices within it have been carried out. The results of the theoretical exploration of this increasingly popular phenomenon revealed parallels with the problems of nondigital labor markets in the field of the workforce. The clear separation of grassroots sharing practices from those in name only like Uber suggest that the latter do not realize social welfare more broadly than ordinary capitalist enterprises.
共享经济:技术网络经济中的社会福利
本文试图以Uber为例,描述共享经济对通过该应用程序工作的人的社会福利的影响。为此,作者提出了技术网络化经济的理论概念,这是技术网络化现实的更广泛的启发式模型的一个组成部分。此外,对共享经济的不同方法和其中的各种实践进行了批判性审查。对这一日益流行的现象进行理论探索的结果揭示了与劳动力领域非数字化劳动力市场问题的相似之处。草根共享实践与Uber等有名无实的共享实践的明显区别表明,后者并没有比普通资本主义企业更广泛地实现社会福利。
