The term gy economy in the way that we refer to it in the global north, specifically to mean work that happens through these specific platforms, doesn't really make as much sense in the global south. So i think that's a really good point that you make there. I think that is such a good over view of what is going on in brazil.
Paris Marx is joined by Rafael Grohmann to discuss the state of app-based work in Brazil, organizing by food delivery workers to demand better conditions, and even a recent strike by click farm workers.
