Owning your own time, money, resources, and equipment is very capitalist. There's nothing about capitalism that requires centralized control of anything. It's just classical liberal philosophy applied to economics... individual rights should include property rights.


That's true, but my point was that it's odd for the article to portray Uber as the exploitative capitalist when Uber does not own the capital.


Ah. I just find "means of production" to be an anachronistic term that presumes something like a Marxist worldview, but I guess that was your intention.
