Based on extensive conversations with Uber, Lyft, and Ola drivers across multiple cities in the United States and India, this article argues that gig/platform work operates through a reorganization of established labor process with data at the center of such changes. Not only is data central to a dynamic restructuring of labor processes but data as “value” moves across multiple production processes enabling a new spatiotemporal fix. Data as “value/capital” thus enters a potentially endless cycle of value creation and appropriation. This makes possible for the labor movement to move away from narrow business unionism and instead build a new politics that has at its center data as unaccounted value produced by workers.

The article is devoted to the study of inverse problems of identifying two-factor production functions from given marginal rate of technical substitution. The analytical forms of twofactor production functions with given linear-fractionalmarginal rate of technical substitution of labor by capital. Classes of two-factor production functions that correspond to given (constant, linear, linear-fractional, exponential, etc.) marginal rate of technical substitution areindicated. The obtained results can be applied in modeling of production processes.
