Social and Solidarity Economy
Author: Peter Utting
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 178360347X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
As economic crises, growing inequality and climate change prompt a global debate on the meaning and trajectory of development, increasing attention is focusing on 'social and solidarity economy' as a distinctive approach to sustainable and rights-based development. While we are beginning to understand what social and solidarity economy is, what it promises and how it differs from 'business as usual', we know far less about whether it can really move beyond its fringe status in many countries and regions. Under what conditions can social and solidarity economy scale up and scale out - that is, expand in terms of the growth of social and solidarity economy organizations and enterprises, or spread horizontally within given territories? Bringing together leading researchers, blending theoretical and empirical analysis, and drawing on experiences and case studies from multiple countries and regions, this volume addresses these questions. In so doing, it aims to inform a broad constituency of development actors, including scholars, practitioners, activists and policy makers.

Collective Courage
Author: Jessica Gordon Nembhard
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271064269
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
In Collective Courage, Jessica Gordon Nembhard chronicles African American cooperative business ownership and its place in the movements for Black civil rights and economic equality. Not since W. E. B. Du Bois’s 1907 Economic Co-operation Among Negro Americans has there been a full-length, nationwide study of African American cooperatives. Collective Courage extends that story into the twenty-first century. Many of the players are well known in the history of the African American experience: Du Bois, A. Philip Randolph and the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Nannie Helen Burroughs, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Jo Baker, George Schuyler and the Young Negroes’ Co-operative League, the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panther Party. Adding the cooperative movement to Black history results in a retelling of the African American experience, with an increased understanding of African American collective economic agency and grassroots economic organizing. To tell the story, Gordon Nembhard uses a variety of newspapers, period magazines, and journals; co-ops’ articles of incorporation, minutes from annual meetings, newsletters, budgets, and income statements; and scholarly books, memoirs, and biographies. These sources reveal the achievements and challenges of Black co-ops, collective economic action, and social entrepreneurship. Gordon Nembhard finds that African Americans, as well as other people of color and low-income people, have benefitted greatly from cooperative ownership and democratic economic participation throughout the nation’s history.

Economía colaborativa y plataformas digitales
Author: Pablo Jarne Muñoz
Publisher: Editorial Reus
ISBN: 842902137X
Category : Law
Languages : es
Pages : 200
Book Description
La economía colaborativa ha venido para quedarse. Los modelos económicos en los que las plataformas en línea crean mercados abiertos donde los particulares ofrecen o intercambian servicios vienen marcados por la nota de la desintermediación, lo que a menudo colisiona con los intereses de los operadores tradicionales que desarrollan su actividad en el sector. Hemos de ser conscientes de que los problemas y retos que esta modalidad de intercambios plantea difícilmente pueden ser resueltos a través de los cauces tradicionales de que dispone nuestro ordenamiento jurídico. Se asiste, en definitiva, al auge de la posesión o de la idea de acceso a los bienes o servicios en detrimento de la propiedad. La obra se plantea como un intento de reconstrucción sistemática del movimiento colaborativo. Tras un capítulo introductorio en el que se expone la evolución y se delimitan los contornos actuales del fenómeno, se dedican sendos capítulos a profundizar en el régimen aplicable a las plataformas en línea y, a renglón seguido, en el estatuto del prosumidor y en la protección que reciben los usuarios de estos servicios. La obra se cierra con un estudio particularizado de los dos sectores en los que la economía colaborativa ha incidido con mayor empuje, el transporte y el alojamiento. Si bien se trata inicialmente de una obra de origen académico, va dirigida también a profesionales de los sectores en los que la economía colaborativa tiene una gran implantación. De igual modo puede resultar interesante para el sector público y las asociaciones de consumidores. Pablo Jarne es Profesor Ayudante Doctor de Derecho Mercantil en la Universidad de Zaragoza. Cursó sus estudios doctorales en el ámbito de la distribución comercial. Destacan la realización del Máster en Derecho de la distribución y el Diploma de Estudios Superiores Especializados en Derecho económico, ambos en la Universidad de Montpellier, así como su paso por el Consejo de Consumidores y Usuarios de Madrid. Es autor de una veintena de publicaciones principalmente orientadas al ámbito de la distribución, el consumo y las nuevas tecnologías.

World Development Report 2019
Author: World Bank
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464813566
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

What's Yours is Mine
Author: Tom Slee
Publisher: Scribe Publications
ISBN: 1925548473
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Airbnb facilitates the booking of over 37 million overnight stays per year. Uber operates in 450 cities in 60 countries. Both claim to be part of the rapidly growing ‘sharing economy’ — but what does that actually mean? Here, Tom Slee offers a razor-sharp examination of the ‘sharing economy’: from its genesis in open-source software and media file sharing, through to the present day popularity of Uber, Airbnb, Taskrabbit, and similar services, which operate outside of normal business regulations, taking on none of the risk or responsibility when something goes wrong. He asks, how did we get from the generosity of what’s mine is yours, to the self-interest and greed of what’s yours is mine?

E-FOOD: Closing the Online Enforcement Gap in the EU Platform Economy
Author: Maria Jose Plana Casado
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783030795061
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Retail is ‘going digital,’ and grocery shopping is no exception. While some businesses are relaying on their corporate website to make the sale, both traditional brick-and-mortar and new disruptive business models are increasingly using online marketplaces to offer their products online. European Union law has been gradually updated to reflect this new reality, with Intellectual Property Rights legislation and Consumer Law leading the way toward a suitable regulatory framework in the Platform Economy. However, the EU has not devised a comprehensive strategy for tackling the challenges posed by the online sale of physical consumer goods, such as effective public enforcement in online environments. In fact, sector-specific legislation, including Food Law, largely ignores online transactions. In this context, the book evaluates the impact that online marketplaces are having on European Union sector-specific legislation and its e-nforcement. The goal is to assess whether the existing regulatory and policy framework are sufficient for promoting compliance and bridging the enforcement gap in the digital single market. Focusing on the e-food market, the book presents a state-of-the-art overview of how online marketplaces are altering EU law and its enforcement by public authorities.
