Krátky popis
'A wonderfully revolutionary text' - YANIS VAROUFAKISThe 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 natural and inevitable is actually the work of powerful
interests. And the great battle of our time is for ownership of the
digital footprints that make up our lives.Cloudmoney tells a
revelatory story about how the fusion of big finance and tech
requires physical cash to be replaced by digital money underpinned
by the banking sector, 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. He reveals 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 advance fintech platforms, and 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?
