Cloudmoney: Why the War on Cash Endangers Our Freedom

Gut!

In Cloudmoney, Brett Scott has managed to take potentially challenging topics, and make them not just accessible, but a genuinely enjoyable read.The institutions pushing for a ‘cashless society’ are sufficiently powerful and interconnected that they’re able to make the trend towards it seem like an organic process being driven by average citizens. But Scott takes you below the surface to understand the motives at play, the dangers posed by allowing private companies to gain total control of our money, and how the illusory appearance of an organic process is actually created.In the current global political climate of human rights erosion and increasing state control, cash has never been a more crucial ally in the fight for democracy and human rights, and we must assert our right to use it. The future of cash and our own future are far more deeply interconnected than many of us realise.
