But after this initial project, what exactly are the capitalists at Uber contributing to the company? Almost all of the actual capital is already owned by the workers, in the form of cars that they pay for and maintain themselves. And these workers labor individually, doing the same tasks, so there?s no need for a management class to control their daily operations. The capital owners maintain the phone app, but app technology isn?t the major cost, and it?s getting cheaper and easier by the day.
Given that the workers already own all the capital in the form of their cars, why aren?t they collecting all the profits? Worker cooperatives are difficult to start when there?s massive capital needed up front, or when it?s necessary to coordinate a lot of different types of workers. But, as we?ve already shown, that?s not the case with Uber. In fact, if any set of companies deserves to have its rentiers euthanized, it?s those of the 'sharing economy,' in which management relies heavily on the individual ownership of capital, providing only coordination and branding.
