Zusammenfassung:Selling Sickness -- Deservingness on Display -- The Wisdom of the Crowd? -- The Cruelty of Digital Opportunity -- Downstream Fixes, Upstream Problems -- Crowded Futures, or Mutual Liberation?
"Crowded Out examines how charitable crowdfunding so quickly overtook public life, where it is taking us, and who gets left behind by this new platformed economy. While crowdfunding has become ubiquitous in our lives, it is largely misunderstood by the public: rather than a friendly free market "powered by the kindness" of strangers, crowdfunding is powerfully reinforcing inequalities and changing the way Americans think about, and access, health care. Drawing on extensive research and rich storytelling, Crowded Out demonstrates how crowdfunding for health is fueled by, and further reinforces, financial and moral "toxicities" in market-based health systems."
