How to Advance Social Change Through Platform Cooperatives

Sally Kohn: There's a tension between where the value is created, which as we increasingly see, it's all socially generated. But of course, it's captured, monetized and siphoned away by capitalist enterprise. So that being the larger structural tension we're dealing with, tell me about some of the financial and cultural strategies for trying to advance social change through platform co-ops. Given the relatively modest size of most platform cooperatives, why are you optimistic or hopeful about this approach? I'm hopeful because of the history. You know, when I get frustrated beating my head against a wall as founders, especially our beating their heads even harder against walls," she says.
