In terms of the long-term future of societies, this is big. It poses all sorts of questions to democratic societies, about where the drift to similar models may start

and

China's social credit works in a similar way to how we rate our Uber drivers and Deliveroo orders.

Individuals are rated and scored – and it's easy to see how that could become dystopian, says

I would highly recommend Mike mungers recent guest slot on econtalk podcast

He riffs about the future of the sharing economy and posits that in the same way as Amazon used to be a book store but now is much broader we will look back on the days when Uber was a mere taxi company. He argues that both are platforms and will likely be in competition  for the dominance of the sharing economy (with one buying the other out)

He then goes onto imagine a system very  much like the black mirror episode where our reputation will be so important (as well as being able to track others reputation) that our likes, recommendations and eBay like  reputation scores will be centralised.


He is a fascinating mind and if you'd like to hear a polymath pontificate on the economic possibilities of blockchain, Uber Amazon and the internet of things then I cannot recommend the podcast enough
