> Instead of producing greater socialization that spreads wealth and decision-making, the sharing economy funnels money and control toward the top.

I don't see any difference compared to other industries that employ unskilled workers / rigid resources. These workers are treated everywhere as commodity and just the matter of time when they are replaced with robots.

Agencies, contractors, army, teachers, doctors, escorts are also part of the sharing economy in a more oldschool way where people don't really care about the social value of the money they pay. The difference is whether one is are part of a commodity service or not.
