Abstract/Index

Understanding digital platforms. What are digital platforms? How digital platforms operate. Platforms as systemic actors: beyond markets and intermediation. Analytical framework: growth, sustainability and platform capitalism. Exponential technologies and the narrative of infinite progress. Technical solutionism and the sustainability discourse. Efficiency as a facade: data extraction and the expansion logic of digital platforms. Introducing global models: systems thinking for a finite-resources world. The limits to growth: a systemic critique. The Latin American world model: structural constraints and dependency. Relevance today: from fossil fuels to data centers. From raw materials to data: platforms as new extractive regimes.
