Description
_______ ‘Excellent’ Martin Wolf, Financial Times Books of the Year ‘Essential’ Daniel Pink, author of Drive ‘Wonderful’ Martin Ford, author of The Rise of the Robots _______ PROFIT INNOVATION GREED WELCOME TO THE GIG ECONOMY Between Uber drivers and Airbnb hosts, freelance jobs are becoming an increasingly prominent part of our economy.
