|This book introduces the reader to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. It focuses on Bitcoin, the most popular cryptocurrency, but discusses others such as Ethereum and even includes a short discussion of Libra, Facebook's recently announced crypto offering. Unlike other books on blockchain, which tend to approach the topic from a computer science perspective, this book starts with a monetary theory perspective, describing what role money serves in society, and how Bitcoin relates to and is different from traditional currency. The book then explores the technical aspects of the Bitcoin system: its communications protocol, its decentralized validation processes, and the basics of Bitcoin mining. The book also addresses the challenges that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies face: price volatility, adoption/scalability, regulatory uncertainty, and energy consumption. Some central banks are considering issuing their own digital currencies, and the authors discuss several possibilities related to central bank digital currencies. The authors also briefly discuss non-monetary applications of blockchain technology like smart contracts. There are a handful of courses on bitcoin and blockchain in economics programs, for which this could be a suitable primary text, but I think the greater likelihood is for this to be a supplemental text in an economics course geared towards monetary theory and policy, of which Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies would be a smaller unit. The book is accessible enough for undergraduates to understand, but could also be used in Master's or first-year PhD courses. Basically, in economics, the course this book would be used in is required, but the book itself is more of a supplement. The technological details of how Bitcoin works are accessible enough for non-computer science students to understand, but may be a bit lacking for CS majors. However, CS instructors who want their students to understand the economic underpinnings of cryptocurrencies might assign selections from this book|--

Best Seller Everything for Everyone

Everything for Everyone High quality books Everything for Everyone By:Nathan Schneider Published on 2018-09-11 by Hachette UK The origins of the next radical economy is rooted in a tradition that has empowered people for centuries and is now making a comeback. A new feudalism is on the rise. While monopolistic corporations feed their spoils to the rich, more and more of us are expected to live gig to gig. But, as Nathan Schneider shows, an alternative to the robber-baron economy is hiding in plain sight; we just need to know where to look. Cooperatives are jointly owned, democratically controlled enterprises that advance the economic, social, and cultural interests of their members. They often emerge during moments of crisis not unlike our own, putting people in charge of the workplaces, credit unions, grocery stores, healthcare, and utilities they depend on. Everything for Everyone chronicles this revolution--from taxi cooperatives keeping Uber at bay, to an outspoken mayor transformi...

Best Seller The Gold Standard at the Turn of the Twentieth Century

The Gold Standard at the Turn of the Twentieth Century High quality books The Gold Standard at the Turn of the Twentieth Century By:Steven Bryan Published on 2010-08-31 by Columbia University Press By the end of the nineteenth century, the world was ready to adopt the gold standard out of concerns of national power, prestige, and anti-English competition. Yet although the gold standard allowed countries to enact a virtual single world currency, the years before World War I were not a time of unfettered liberal economics and one-world, one-market harmony. Outside of Europe, the gold standard became a tool for nationalists and protectionists primarily interested in growing domestic industry and imperial expansion. This overlooked trend, provocatively reassessed in Steven Bryan's well-documented history, contradicts our conception of the gold standard as a British-based system infused with English ideas, interests, and institutions. In countries like Japan and Argentina, where nationa...
