In this episode Conor and John are joined by Tom Boland of the Economic Sociology Study Group of the Sociological Association of Ireland. Tom gives us the lowdown on platform capitalism - the proliferating form of business which has Google, Linkdin, Amazon, Uber and more as major examples. He explains the effect it has on people and how they relate to themselves.
