Description
New Softcover
In Bitcoin Is Venice, Allen Farrington and Sacha Meyers challenge the assumptions underpinning modern economics, finance, and fiat currency. Drawing on history, political economy, philosophy, and Bitcoin, they present a provocative vision of how sound money could transform capital formation, human cooperation, and the future of civilization itself.
Far more than a book about cryptocurrency, Bitcoin Is Venice explores how societies create wealth, how institutions evolve, and why monetary systems shape everything from innovation and entrepreneurship to culture and individual freedom.
Through a series of deeply researched and thought-provoking essays, Farrington and Meyers examine:
• The failures and contradictions of modern economic theory
• The hidden costs of fiat currency systems
• The relationship between money, capital, and human progress
• How Bitcoin changes incentives throughout society
• The future of entrepreneurship, investment, and wealth creation
• Whether a Bitcoin standard could usher in a new era of prosperity and innovation
Building on ideas from economics, history, technology, and political philosophy, the authors offer a framework for understanding Bitcoin not merely as a digital asset, but as a transformative monetary technology with far-reaching implications for the modern world.
Featuring a foreword by human rights advocate Alex Gladstein and praised by leading thinkers including Jeff Booth and Harris Irfan, Bitcoin Is Venice presents a compelling exploration of money, freedom, and the foundations of a flourishing society.
