Descrizione principale
This article aims to investigate the academic production of platform work and its interfaces with Marx's theory of value in the field of Social and Economic Sciences. A systematic review of the international literature produced between 2009 and 2023 was carried on the Scopus database. The question of the creation of value is the most important aspect that has been identified by this research. Most of the authors affirmed that data creates value. We indicated the critics that exist on this topic. For instance, the formal and real subsumption of labor to capital and the importance that money plays in materializing value. Also, piece-rate pay was identified as an important aspect that affects workers' subjectivity to increase the creation of value. In addition, the authors explored the process of concentration and centralization of capital in the platform economy. This literature review concludes that there is still a lack of studies on platform work from a value theory perspective.
