“Marx should be delighted — oh, except that it’s capitalism, not communism, that’s allowing Joe to be a fisherman and a critic on his own terms. The sharing or ‘gig’ economy is not only disrupting the way people live and work; it’s dividing the left considerably. On the one hand, you have the nostalgic leftists who want Joe to work a nine-to-five job and skip the fishing. You know, like people did in the 1950s. [..] Should we be upset that the guy who founded Lyft is getting rich from the tech? Some people see the accumulation of wealth as taboo. But Joe’s life is better than it would have been in the absence of Lyft. The company allows him to live more of the life he wants to live.”
