Description of
Money in the Twenty-First Century: Cheap, Mobile, and Digital [Audiobook]
B0CQPKTPWG MP3@64 kbps How three modern forces have redefined what "money" means, who controls it, and what the future of finance looks like Holden weaves in the stories of three people who have exerted massive influence over the future of modern money: US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin, and Raghuram Rajan, chief economist at the International Monetary Fund. Moving from micro to macro, Holden investigates the infrastructure that permits digital transactions, the currencies that underpin them, the race for control of those currencies, shifts in policy and the international monetary system, and the impact on the politics of money in the digital age. This book debates whether governments can keep these tectonic powers under control.
