- Abstract
The book "Money Creation: the past and present of society's most important technology" by Peet van Biljon and Alexandra Reed Lajoux explores the social, historical, and societal aspects of money. It delves into topics such as the origins and role of money, wealth inequality, central banks and global finance, FinTech and cryptocurrencies, and the potential for a cashless society. The authors emphasize that money is a technology that serves society and discuss its impact on economic development throughout history. They also address challenges and opportunities in the modern financial system, including issues of wealth inequality, fraud, and the concentration of power. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the evolving nature of money and its impact on society.
