Dans une interview accordée au Financial Times, Maurice Levy, PDG de Publicis, a dit sa crainte que, à l'image des taxis, l'économie française ne soit "uberisée". Une fatalité? Pas forcément.

Voilà voilà ce que donne une veille à la réntrée : trop d'information tue l'information. Mais je vous le donne quand-même :-). Extrait.

"Ces nouveaux services visent à "combler un vide dans l’offre actuelle de transport", explique Snir Kodesh, co-fondateur et directeur général d'Hitch, une start-up qui s'est lancée sur ce marché au début de l'été. Ils offrent un compromis entre les bus municipaux “pas chers mais lents” et les chauffeurs privés et les taxis “rapides mais chers”."
Le genre de petite phrase qui va plaire…

The touted start-up is proving to be the embodiment of unrestrained hyper-capitalism. What happens when it wins?
Now that a federal judge in Germany prohibited Uber to exercice in their country, the #digiwar as it is called by some, is back on stage. What do we think about its operating ways and how do we relate to labor and rights, is an important question to be addressed. Ecxerpt.

"So here’s what’s going to happen. Society is going to realize that power as great as Uber’s needs to be checked. Uber, by virtue of its own success, will demonstrate where the lines need to be drawn for the general good. When Uber is the only game in town, the necessity for comprehensive requirements for commercial insurance and background checks will be obvious. When Uber starts using its logistics clout and unlimited investment capital to go after UPS and Hertz and FedEx, regulators will start wondering about antitrust issues.
It’s probably too soon to cry out “Break up Uber.” The company hasn’t won yet. But the smart money is on Uber (by definition, if you consider Google and Goldman Sachs, two prominent Uber investors, to be “smart”). When we allow capitalism to play out without rules, and learn anew how labor gets exploited under that scenario, we may recall why we had rules in the first place.
