With the rise of the digital economy, new market dynamics have unfolded, calling for an unprecedented way of mobilizing labor to ensure day-to-day operations. Capitalist platforms are the paradigmatic form of this evolution in contemporary capitalism. Platforms are seen as a kind of "democratic facilitator", with the market seen by their promoters as the sine qua non of a democracy worthy of the name.
