| Post subject: | Economist's View of Uber |
This fella does a blog on the 'naked capitalist' in the US, and has done an in-depth and fascinating look at the Uber business model, and concludes that Uber will only ever make money for it's investors is if it became 'an unregulated monopoly'. The blog is in five parts, but well worth a read. Can Uber Ever Deliver? Part One – Understanding Uber’s Bleak Operating Economics Can Uber Ever Deliver? Part Two: Understanding Uber’s Uncompetitive Costs Can Uber Ever Deliver? Part Three: Understanding False Claims About Uber’s Innovation and Competitive Advantages Can Uber Ever Deliver? Part Four: Understanding That Unregulated Monopoly Was Always Uber’s Central Objective Can Uber Ever Deliver? Part Five: Addressing Reader Comments and Questions |

Uber isn't about taxis. We are just a cog to get into Joe Public's personal data. How many other shops said 'we must stop Amazon' when they were destroying independent book shops? |
