Cloudmoney
Autor Brett Scotten Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iul 2023
Many of us rarely use cash these days. And the reach of corporations into our lives via cards and apps has never been greater. But what we're told is inevitable is actually the work of powerful interests: the great battle of our time is for ownership of the digital footprints that make up our lives.
Cloudmoney tells a revelatory story about the fusion of big finance and tech, which requires physical cash to be replaced by digital money or 'cloudmoney'. Diving beneath the surface of the global financial system, Brett Scott uncovers a long-established lobbying infrastructure waging a covert war on cash under the banner of progress but at the cost of our privacy, politics and individual freedom.
'A wonderfully revolutionary text' YANIS VAROUFAKIS
'Scott has struck an important vein that is vital in a digital age' FINANCIAL TIMES
'Brilliant, fascinating and utterly accessible' KATE RAWORTH, author of Doughnut Economics

Recenzii
“A fascinating and readable guide to the future, and how we can reclaim that future from the clutches of Big Finance and Big Tech.” — Grace Blakeley, author of The Corona Crash and Stolen
“A brilliant, fascinating, and utterly accessible book—a pioneering and political guide to the fast-evolving web of global finance. Combining anthropological insight with the financial acumen of an industry insider, Scott lays out the long view on how tech and finance are rapidly merging to supercharge corporate capitalism. If you want to understand what money is—and what it is in danger of becoming—start right here.” — Kate Raworth, cofounder of Doughnut Economics Action Lab and author of Doughnut Economics
“In a book that is simultaneously irreverent, hard-hitting, and entertaining, Brett Scott blows apart conventional myths about cash, digital money, and crypto, and brilliantly shows us what’s at stake in the coming battles for the soul of money.” — Stephanie Kelton, author of the New York Times bestseller The Deficit Myth
“Told with authority and clarity.” — Kirkus Reviews
Descriere
The reach of corporations into our lives via cards and apps has never been greater; many of us rarely use cash these days. But what we're told is a natural and inevitable move is the work of powerful interests. And the great battle of our time is the battle for ownership of the digital footprints that make up our lives.
In Cloudmoney, Brett Scott tells an urgent and revelatory story about how the fusion of big finance and tech requires 'cloudmoney'—digital money underpinned by the banking sector—to replace physical cash. He dives beneath the surface of the global financial system to uncover a long-established lobbying infrastructure: an alliance of partners waging a covert war on cash. He explains the technical, political, and cultural differences between our different forms of money, and shows how the cash system has been under attack for decades, as banking and tech companies promote a cashless society under the banner of progress.
Cloudmoney takes us to the frontlines of a war for our wallets that is also about our freedom. From marketing strategies against cash, to the weaponization of Covid-19 to push fintech platforms, and the rise of the cryptocurrency rebels and fringe groups pushing back. It asks the most pressing questions:
Who benefits from a cashless society and who gets left behind? Is the end of cash the end of true privacy? And is our cloudmoney future closer than we think it is?
