Modern Markets for All: digital public infrastructure to unlock each person’s economic potential

Abstract: MM4A Nonprofit emerged from British government programs that created a radical new labor platform as alternative to extractive gig work apps. The platform is now also launched by public agencies in the US.

This is a taster of the extraordinary potential of platforms for economic activity initiated with the unique heft of government. It's counter-intuitive but a system of e-markets operated as a genuine public utility in any jurisdiction could cut living costs, boost growth, and tackle marginalization.
