Friendship rewards us with a bond of loyalty and equality. The marketplace rewards us based on what we have to offer. When friends work together to create something, and when the market judges their creation to have value, this sets up a clash between realms. Should the pie of profits be sliced according to the values of friendship, or the values of the marketplace?

Every time you order a meal, obtain directions, query an AI chatbot, or access your child’s virtual classroom, you’re interacting with a multi-sided digital platform—and you trade in more than just time or money. You relinquish data. You perform unpaid labor. And in nearly every case, that data, along with the profits, leaves your community and flows to distant companies with no stake in your local economy. But what if the digital economy worked differently—what if it respected privacy, strengthened local economies, and ensured communities benefited from the value they help create?
