spir-11337	Steinberg, Marc	AUTOMOBILE PLATFORM CAPITALISM: A VEHICULAR HISTORY OF THE DIGITAL ECONOMY	2020.0	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1265	85	52	This paper will furthermore argue that the missing link between automobile platform theory and the theory of the platform as mediation device is to be found in a series of articles that come out of managerial theory in the 1990s Japan. Offering a genealogy of platform thinking around the automobile and then the internet, this paper traces an unlikely link between managerial theory around automobile manufacture from the 1980s, to the development of platform theory in the 1990s in Japan, to internet-based contemporary platforms.	cache/spir-11337.pdf	txt/spir-11337.txt
