Who stands to benefit from a cashless society? What are the risks of the ongoing merger of big finance and big tech? Is a cashless future inevitable? Finance Watch invites you to discuss the digitalisation of money with Brett Scott, author of the book Cloud-money: Cash, Cards, Crypto and the War for our Wallets.
Cloud-money takes a hard look at the digital transformation of our financial system, revealing the forces behind this transition and pushing readers to question their role in it. Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics says, it’s “a brilliant, fascinating and utterly accessible book… If you want to understand what money is – and what it is in danger of becoming – start right here.”
This lunch hour event will feature a presentation of the book’s key messages and give attendees the opportunity to ask questions during the follow-up discussion.
