Regulating Blockchain: Critical Perspectives in Law and Technology
Autor Robert Herianen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2020
Blockchain may indeed offer a unique technical opportunity to change cultures of transparency and trust within cyberspace, and as ‘revolutionary’ and ‘disruptive’ has the potential to shift global socioeconomic and political conventions. But as a yet largely unregulated, solutionist-driven phenomenon, blockchain exists squarely within the boundaries of capitalist logic and reason, fast becoming central to the business models of many sources of financial and political power the technology was specifically designed to undo, and increasingly allied to neoliberal strategies with scant regard for collective, political or democratic accountability in the public interest. Regulating Blockchain casts a critical eye over the technology, its ‘ecosystem’ of stakeholders, and offers a challenge to the prevailing discourse proclaiming it to be the great techno-social enabler of our times.

Descriere
As the distributed architecture underpinning the Bitcoin anarcho-capitalist project, blockchain entered the imagination and the vocabulary of many people only recently. But as a largely unregulated phenomenon, it is set to impact the lives of billions of people in ways that may not benefit all, but instead simply line the pockets of a few elites
