The Political Economy of Digital Currencies
Monday July 15 at 4:30 pm in Silsby 215. Sponsored by the Daniel Webster Program (co-sponsored by the PEP).
The future of money is digital. But cryptocurrencies, stable-coins, and Central Bank Digital Currencies are all forms of digital monies. What are their differences, and how likely is it that they will combine in the near future? This talk explores the broader economic and political framework that will ultimately determine the future of money.
Leonidas Zelmanovitz (Liberty Fund) is the author of The Ontology and Function of Money: The Philosophical Fundamentals of Monetary Institutions (2016).
