Abstract

Hustle and Gig: Struggling and Surviving in the Sharing Economy: by Alexandrea J. Ravenelle, Oakland CA, University of California Press, 2019, 288 pp., £25.00 (paperback), ISBN 978-0-520-30056-9 / £85.00 (hardback), ISBN 978-0-520-30055-2 The monumental changes brought on by the rise of the sharing economy demand attention by those studying inequality, technology, and the ever-mounting risk shift onto American workers. In a way, Ravenelle's expert discussion of how bad the sharing economy treats workers leaves one wanting a more radical prescription for the low wage workers, sharing economy or not, given the pervasive injustices she documents.
