  • One of the major challenges that result from the digital transformation occurring in our societies bears on its impact on the organization and regulation of the economy. This leads to a dramatic change to the economic institutions of capitalisminto what could be defined as platform capitalismthat rests on a fundamental dilemma between decentralization on the one side and concentration on the other.
