          report with you on the changing landscape of the global
          economy. This is about the impact of data and its deployment
          as a key resource in the production process. Commonly
          understood as the platform model, this new point of inflection
          in economic organisation needs to be understood for its deep
          implications for equality and justice.</div>
        <p>This research from IT for Change is among the first to
          demonstrate the highly inequitable impacts of platformization
          on the global south. Please circulate widely in your networks.
