Tóm tắt
This book explores how growing digital connectivity and the digitalization of the economy are affecting people and places on the economic margins of the world. Through diverse case studies—from Chile to Kenya to the Philippines—it examines whether digital tools empower marginalized communities or reinforce existing inequalities. Topics include data-driven disintermediation, gender and digital labor, philanthropic capitalism, innovation hubs, and shifting global centers of tech development. The book brings together interdisciplinary insights to critically assess the promises and pitfalls of digital inclusion.
