Before Babylon, beyond bitcoin : from money that we understand to money that understands us /
Birch, David qq (David G. W.),author.
"The book looks at the future of money by exploring the "5Cs" that might create money in the future: central banks, commercial banks, companies, cryptography and communities. It opens the topic up to the general business reader and provides a useful framework for considering the impact of a shift to digital money in the future. In the London School of Economics (LSE) Review of Books, Professor Steven Minas called the book a timely and illuminating contribution which should be widely read by graduate students of finance, financial law and related topics, as well as policymakers involved in financial regulation." -- provided by author.
