For ages, money has meant little metal disks and rectangular slips of paper. Yet the usefulness of physical moneyto say nothing of its valueis coming under fire as never before. Intrigued by the distinct possibility that cash will soon disappear, author and Wired contributing editor David Wolman sets out to investigate the future of money and how it will affect your wallet.

Yet the usefulness of physical moneyto say nothing of its valueis coming under fire as never before. Intrigued by the distinct possibility that cash will soon disappear, author and Wired contributing editor David Wolman sets out to investigate the future of money and how it will affect your wallet. Wolman begins his journey by deciding to shun cash for an entire yeara surprisingly successful experiment (with a couple of notable exceptions). He then ventures forth to find people and technologies that illuminate the road ahead. In Honolulu, he drinks Mai Tais with Bernard von NotHaus, a convicted counterfeiter and alternative-currency evangelist whom government prosecutors have labeled a domestic terrorist. In Tokyo, he sneaks a peek at the latest anti-counterfeiting wizardry, while puzzling over the fact that banknote forgers depend on society's addiction to cash. In a downtrodden Oregon town, he mingles with obsessive coin collectorsthe people who are supposed to love cash the most, yet don't. And in rural Georgia, he examines why some people feel the end of cash is Armageddon´s warm-up act. After stops at the Digital Money Forum in London and Iceland´s central bank, Wolman flies to Delhi, where he sees first-hand how cash penalizes the poor more than anyoneand how mobile technologies promise to change that. Told with verve and wit, The End of Money explores an aspect of our daily lives so fundamental that we rarely stop to think about it. You´ll never look at a dollar bill the same again.Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 25x229x152 mm;Gewicht: 414,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: februari 2012;ISBN10: 0306818833;ISBN13: 9780306818837; Engelstalig | Hardcover | 2012.

The age of paper money and metal coins is coming to a close. "The End of Money" shines the spotlight on this revolution - and the people, technologies, and trends that are powering it. "The End of Money" is the story of hard currency - its history, conflicts, champions, detractors, and eventual demise. As the role of bills and coins in our everyday lives and in the economy lessens, real money is becoming not merely an abstraction, but an abstraction of an abstraction. What will an increasingly cashless future mean for society, and for the people whose careers are linked to the production, management, and collection of hard currency? This is their story, but it is also our story - because the fate of real money impacts all of our wallets. The tale spans from Britain's Master of the Mint, Isaac Newton, to massive zinc mines in Western Australia. David Wolman delivers an everyman-friendly explanation of the monetary policies espoused by titans like Jefferson, Keynes, Friedman, and Greenspan, while exploring the wider implications of PayPal's next-generation payment innovations. It examines the role of Las Vegas casinos as drivers of coin production, delves into Federal Reserve branch banks full of cash, showcases the boon in mobile phone banking in developing countries, and looks at the Secret Service's ongoing battle with counterfeiters. The book zooms from places like South Korea, where cell phone scans are used to pay for just about everything, to fMRI laboratories, where brain scientists are studying our emotional relationship to cash. From Bretton Woods and e-bullion businesses, to Andrew Jackson's "Specie Circular" of 1836, "The End of Money" takes readers on a cross-cultural journey into the world of hard currency - and peers into a future without it.
