Story
In this fascinating deep dive into the evolution of monetary systems around the globe, Nik Bhatia takes us into the origins of how money has evolved to function in a “layered” manner. Using gold as an example of this term, he traces the layers of this ancient currency from raw mined material, to gold coins, and finally to bank-issued gold certificates. In a groundbreaking manner, Bhatia offers a similar paradigm for the evolution of digital currencies.

In The Fiat Standard, world-renowned economist Saifedean Ammous applies his unique analytical lens to the fiat monetary system, explaining it as a feat of engineering and technology just as he did for bitcoin in his global best seller The Bitcoin Standard. This time, Ammous delves into the world's earlier shift from the gold standard to today's system of government-backed fiat money—outlining the fiat standard's purposes and failures; deriving the wider economic, political, and social implications of its use; and examining how bitcoin will affect it over time.

When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small Online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications.

This book covers bitcoin’s blocksize war, which was waged from August 2015 to November 2017. On the surface, the battle was about the amount of data allowed in each bitcoin block, however it exposed much deeper issues, such as who controls bitcoin’s protocol rules. It is not possible to cover every twist and turn in the labyrinthine conflict or all the arguments, but I have provided a chronology of the most significant events. This book explores some of the major characters in the conflict and includes coverage, from both the front lines and behind the scenes.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

In Disunited Nations, geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan presents a series of counterintuitive arguments about the future of a world where trade agreements are coming apart and international institutions are losing their power. Germany will decline as the most powerful country in Europe, with France taking its place. Every country should prepare for the collapse of China, not North Korea. We are already seeing, as Zeihan predicts, a shift in outlook on the Middle East: it is no longer Iran that is the region’s most dangerous threat, but Saudi Arabia.

Story
Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods - that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.

Debt

Publisher's Summary
We live in an extraordinary time. Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance - and they are profoundly deflationary.
Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and an era where we made money from inefficiency. That era is over, but we keep on pretending that those economic systems still work.
The only thing driving growth in the world today is easy credit, which is being created at a pace that is hard to comprehend and with it, debt that we will never be able to pay back. As we try to artificially drive an economic system built for the past, we are creating more than just economic trouble.
On our current path, our world will become profoundly more polarized and unsafe. We need to build a new framework for our local and global economies, and soon, we need to accept deflation and embrace the abundance it can bring. Otherwise, the same technology that has the power to bring abundance to us and our world will instead destroy it.
In this extraordinary contrarian book, Jeff Booth, a leading mind and CEO in e-commerce and technology for 20 years, details the technological and economic realities shaping our present and our future, and the choices we face as we go forward - a potentially alarming, but deeply hopeful situation.

I've got this on constant repeat, 3 times already
I had some of the ideas in this book swimming around in my head, but not until I read this book did the lights really click on and connect what's happening to the markets and the economy. Booth puts it all together and tells a well-structured narrative about how our inability to see and admit whats right in front of our faces could result in a bleak outcome. We need to make the ideas in this book mainstream so that we are not so blindsided. Currently, we are headed off a cliff trying to preserve an old archaic economic model. Technological advances will soon crush any idea we have of maintaining that system. Booth convincingly argues the inevitability of this. We need to prepare now!
This book is not a fluffy academic exercise and doesn't contain flowery prose. Jeff Booth is simply trying to wake us all the hell up! In much the same way that Kahneman's Thinking Fast & Slow was successful in turning the onus on the reader, Jeff uses real examples to show how our minds trick us into not seeing the inevitability in front of us, especially when it comes to understanding exponentials, another Kahneman fave.
This book is like when Ed Thorp published Beat the Dealer about his new blackjack strategy in the 50s. At first it was ignored, then Vegas laughed at it. Now today, when you walk into a casino to play blackjack, they deal 6 decks and shuffle in the middle, all because of that book still. They were forced to change. We will be too.
I've also listened to all the podcasts Booth has been on. He is authentic and sounding an alarm out of genuine concern for humanity.

He drinks all the kool-aid
He believes in all the pipe dreams like Elon Musk, bitcoin, and every bubble like tech startup. The rest of the book is a long winded elementary level oversimplification of various economic and psychology related theories. He is too optimistic about AI and tech. The only thing I took away that was useful to consider from this book was that technology may act as one of the many deflationary pressure against which central banks will continue to fight. However the book was way too long for all of that.

Solid overview of technological deflation...
....light on real solutions
3.5 of 5 stars (4 stars if removing “Us vs Them” chapter 10 and solutions for resolving our current economic imbalances)
Jeff Booth seems like a well read businessman who has the advantage of Executive experience when discussing technological development. His understanding of game theory, cognitive biases and exposure to great modern thinkers (Taleb, Shannon, Kahneman etc) make most of this a thoughtful and enjoyable read.
Booth’s central theory - that rapid advancements in IT are driving unprecedented deflation throughout the world economy is sound as is his criticism that rapid debt inflation is failing to address massive wealth inequality and making the situation worse.
While his attempts to address these challenges seem sincere, they are at best superficial and seem to lack an understanding of the deeper root causes of our current crises. The reasons for human conflict, though often based on scarcity, go beyond simple “Us vs Them” explanations.
The performance is good.

Brilliant, fairly succinct audio book which is easy to listen to if you sit down, stop everything you're doing and give it the attention it deserves.
I listened to the majority over 4 or 5 days during the New year.
Booth shared his personal experience which others have interpreted as being boastful, but I found they act as metaphors/lessons to relate more with my own life.
A must for someone who doesn't have a 5 year plan, and even those that do might want to rethink theirs.

Nothing new here
Most of the points made here are better argued by other authors in other works.
Booth's contribution, if you can call it that, is to call for a change in attitude to the pros and cons of deflation vs. debt stimulated inflation.
An interesting take, but not a revolution in thinking.

Exceptional
A book which really made me think about humans and how we, economically, got here and where we may be going.
Definitely need to listen again.

Amazing Theory
After listening to this book it seems obvious that this is the future the world needs. But at the same time knowing that I’d never contemplated this theory 6 hours earlier, seems incomprehensible. Incredible

interesting PoV
Although I don't necessarily agree with the solution mentioned at the end, the problems and challenges are well described, in an engaging way.

Well worth the read
I loved the detail into some pretty hard questions. I enjoyed the whole listen, it had a great flow, easy to understand and absorb, some essential facts in there too. Nice work. Thank you

Amazing long term view of the world we are heading into
Very good listen, it gives a long term view of our current political and socio economic structure going forward and how it may need a review based on the long term effects of living under these structures. Quite speechless and not sure to be worried or excited, the future will be very different from what we are experiencing today.
