Who really benefits from a cashless society? Many of us rarely use cash these days. And the reach of corporations into our lives via cards and apps has never been greater. But what we're told is inevitable is actually the work of powerful interests: the great battle of our time is for ownership of the digital footprints that make up our lives. Cloudmoney tells a revelatory story about the fusion of big finance and tech, which requires physical cash to be replaced by digital money or 'cloudmoney'. Diving beneath the surface of the global financial system, Brett Scott uncovers a long-established lobbying infrastructure waging a covert war on cash under the banner of progress but at the cost of our privacy, politics and individual freedom. 'A wonderfully revolutionary text' YANIS VAROUFAKIS 'Scott has struck an important vein that is vital in a digital age' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Brilliant, fascinating and utterly accessible' KATE RAWORTH, author of Doughnut Economics

¿Quién se beneficia de una sociedad sin efectivo? ¿Es el fin del dinero físico el fin de la verdadera privacidad? ¿El monopolio de las criptomonedas está más cerca de lo que pensamos? Hoy en día, muchos de nosotros apenas utilizamos dinero en efectivo y lo pagamos casi todo con tarjetas de crédito o aplicaciones del móvil. Es decir, con dinero digital. Sin embargo, lo que a todos nos parece cómodo, natural e inevitable resulta ser, fundamentalmente, el producto de poderosos intereses y manipulaciones. Cloudmoney es la enloquecedora crónica de este cambio de paradigma. Brett Scott ha buceado bajo la superficie del sistema financiero global para mostrarnos cómo las altas finanzas y las grandes compañías tecnológicas se han aliado con el objetivo de remplazar el dinero físico por el dinero digital, supuestamente en pro de una escurridiza visión de progreso, y cómo ese proceso no es más que una guerra encubierta por nuestros bolsillos y, en última instancia, por nuestra libertad. ¿Es de verdad preferible una sociedad sin efectivo, o supone el fin del dinero físico el fin de la verdadera privacidad? Ese futuro sin metálico, ¿está más cerca de lo que pensamos o aún hay tiempo para cambiar el rumbo? Un libro fundamental para entender qué es el dinero, en qué puede llegar a convertirse y cómo podemos salvarnos de las garras de las poderosas Fintech. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Who benefits from a cashless society and who gets left behind? Is the end of cash the end of true privacy? And is our cloudmoney future closer than we think it is? The reach of Corporations into our lives via cards and apps has never been greater; many of us rarely use cash these days. But what we’re told is a natural and inevitable move is actually the work of powerful interests. And the great battle of our time is the battle for ownership of the digital footprints that make up our lives. In Cloudmoney, Brett Scott tells an urgent and revelatory story about how the fusion of Big Finance and Big Tech requires “cloudmoney” —digital money underpinned by the banking sector— to replace physical cash. He dives beneath the surface of the global financial system to uncover a long-established lobbying infrastructure: an alliance of partners waging a covert war on cash. He explains the technical, political, and cultural differences between our various forms of money and shows how the cash system has been under attack for decades, as banking and tech companies promote a cashless society under the banner of progress. Cloudmoney takes us to the front lines of a war for our wallets that is also about our freedom, from marketing strategies against cash to the weaponization of COVID-19 to push fintech platforms, and from there to the rise of the cryptocurrency rebels and fringe groups pushing back.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The taller your building is, the less down-to-earth a mindset you must have. The architecture of these skyscrapers echoes our relationship with high finance, as most people stand beneath them, on the outside looking up. #2 Bankers are rarely in control of their own institutions, and are often channelling a logic that transcends them. The suits they wear are like protective uniforms, and the toilet is the only place where they might reveal a chink in that armor. #3 The global finance corporation community is like a dense nerve centre for a multi-layered empire of money and promises for money communicated via fibre optic cables under seabeds and routed via offshore centres. #4 The global monetary systems are interconnected networks that spread to the farthest reaches of the planet. They are embedded in us, and reach the dustiest small town. Everything in the final analysis is derived from our ecological systems, without which we would die.

Wat gebeurt er als alles van waarde traceerbaar is? Brett Scott duikt in de verschillende vormen van geld en laat zien wat de strijd om cash, credit en crypto betekent voor de samenleving. Big Tech en Big Finance hebben groot belang bij de digitalisering van geld, onthult journalist Brett Scott in ‘Cloudmoney’. Er woedt een ‘war on cash’. In dit spraakmakende boek legt hij haarfijn bloot wat de verschillende vormen van geld van elkaar onderscheidt – op technisch, politiek en cultureel vlak – en wat de gevolgen van deze war on cash zijn voor de samenleving. Want wie onze digitale voetafdruk beheert, beheert ons leven; en wie ons de toegang tot ons geld kan ontzeggen, kan ons onze vrijheid ontnemen. Wie halen de meeste winst uit een cashloze samenleving en wie raken erdoor op achterstand? Betekent het einde van cash ook het einde van privacy? En hoe ver zijn we nou echt verwijderd van een toekomst in de cloud?

O dinheiro físico está se tornando um elemento cada vez mais raro em nossas vidas. O que poucos sabem é que, por trás das cortinas, há o interesse de múltiplas corporações em incentivar o desuso do dinheiro físico, mas a pergunta é: por quê? Quem realmente se beneficia com isso? Trazendo esses e muitos outros questionamentos, Cloudmoney: Dinheiro virtual narra a fusão entre Big Finance e Big Tech e como essa revolução exige que o dinheiro físico seja substituído pelo dinheiro digital. De forma direta e ousada, o jornalista e ativista financeiro Brett Scott mergulha fundo em uma pesquisa meticulosa sobre a estrutura financeira global, explorando as interseções entre sistemas monetários, finanças e tecnologia, e se colocando na linha da frente de uma guerra não apenas pelas nossas carteiras, mas pela nossa liberdade.

**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** Begin the new year with a fresh perspective on economics, capitalism, and the society we live in. Yanis Varoufakis, world renowned economist, writes to his daughter to teach her the hazards of capitalism. 'Why is there so much inequality?' asked Xenia to her father. Answering her questions in a series of accessible and tender letters, Varoufakis educates her to what economics and capitalism is and why it is so dangerous. Taking from memories of her childhood and a variety of well-known tales - from Oedipus and Faust to Frankenstein and The Matrix - Varoufakis turns Talking To My Daughter into an enjoyable and engaging read, without ever shying from the harder truths. Greece's former finance minister explains everything you need to know to understand why economics is the most important drama of our times. In answering his daughter's deceptively simple questions, Varoufakis disentangles our troubling world with remarkable clarity and child-like honesty, as well as inspiring us to make it a better one. 'Utterly accessible, deeply humane and startlingly original - a potent democratic tool at the perfect time' Naomi Klein

Warum die totale Digitalisierung des Geldes gefährlich ist Nicht erst seit der Corona-Krise bezahlen immer mehr Menschen bargeldlos mit Karte oder App. Corona hat die Entwicklung deutlich beschleunigt. Nutznießer sind vor allem die großen IT-Unternehmen wie Amazon und Google und die Großen der Finanzindustrie, die unter dem Banner des Fortschritts schon seit Längerem die bargeldlose Gesellschaft propagieren. Der englische Finanzexperte und Aktivist Brett Scott zeigt, dass und wie Big Tech und Big Finance immer enger zusammenrücken und mithilfe der allgegenwärtigen digitalen Geräte ihre Macht über uns gefährlich ausbauen, zum Nachteil unserer Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit. Eine augenöffnende Analyse und ein Weckruf, die als unausweichlichen Fortschritt dargestellte Welt des digitalen Gelds, das Scott »Cloudmoney« nennt, nicht widerspruchslos hinzunehmen. Mit einem Vorwort des Autors zur deutschen Ausgabe.

Popular anger against bankers and financial speculators has never been greater, yet the practical workings of the system remain opaque to many people. The Heretic's Guide to Global Finance aims to bridge the gap between protest slogans and practical proposals for reform. As a stockbroker turned campaigner, Brett Scott has a unique understanding of life inside and outside the system. The Heretic's Guide to Global Finance is a practical handbook for campaigners, academics and students who wish to deepen their understanding of the inner workings of the financial sector. It shows how financial knowledge can be used to build effective social and environmental campaigns. Scott covers topics frequently overlooked, such as the cultural aspects of the financial sector, and considers major issues such as agricultural speculation, carbon markets and tar sands financing. The book shows how activists can use the internal dynamics of the sector to reform it and showcases the growing alternative finance movement.
