The problem of translation has become increasingly central to critical reflections on modernity and its universalizing processes. Approaching translation as a symbolic and material exchange among peoples and civilizations—and not as a purely linguistic or literary matter, the essays in Tokens of Exchange focus on China and its interactions with the West to historicize an economy of translation. Rejecting the familiar regional approach to non-Western societies, contributors contend that “national histories” and “world history” must be read with absolute attention to the types of epistemological translatability that have been constructed among the various languages and cultures in modern times. By studying the production and circulation of meaning as value in areas including history, religion, language, law, visual art, music, and pedagogy, essays consider exchanges between Jesuit and Protestant missionaries and the Chinese between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries and focus on the interchanges occasioned by the spread of capitalism and imperialism. Concentrating on ideological reciprocity and nonreciprocity in science, medicine, and cultural pathologies, contributors also posit that such exchanges often lead to racialized and essentialized ideas about culture, sexuality, and nation. The collection turns to the role of language itself as a site of the universalization of knowledge in its contemplation of such processes as the invention of Basic English and the global teaching of the English language. By focusing on the moments wherein meaning-value is exchanged in the translation from one language to another, the essays highlight the circulation of the global in the local as they address the role played by historical translation in the universalizing processes of modernity and globalization. The collection will engage students and scholars of global cultural processes, Chinese studies, world history, literary studies, history of science, and anthropology, as well as cultural and postcolonial studies.

Drawing upon field studies conducted in 1978, 1980 and 2001 with the Oksapmin, a remote Papua New Guinea group, Geoffrey B. Saxe traces the emergence of new forms of numerical representations and ideas in the social history of the community. In traditional life, the Oksapmin used a counting system that makes use of twenty-seven parts of the body; there is no evidence that the group used arithmetic in prehistory. As practices of economic exchange and schooling have shifted, children and adults unwittingly reproduced and altered the system in order to solve new kinds of numerical and arithmetical problems, a process that has led to new forms of collective representations in the community. While Dr Saxe's focus is on the Oksapmin, the insights and general framework he provides are useful for understanding shifting representational forms and emerging cognitive functions in any human community.

The third edition of Token Economy is not just an update; it is a reworking of a foundational book that has helped thousands make sense of how Bitcoin and other blockchain networks—like Ethereum or Solana—are reshaping our digital, financial, and political systems. The book serves as an excellent primer for understanding the key aspects of the technological infrastructure, as well as the decentralized applications built on top of it—from DeFi to various token types and decentralized organizations. It also explains the difference between DeFi, CeFi and TradFi, why blockchain networks can be considered the backbone of Web3, and the increasing role of AI. This edition adds many practical use cases, blending history, systems theory, and real-world use cases to demystify everything from Bitcoin to Tokens and DAOs. It explains how blockchain architecture, token design, and incentive mechanisms intersect with regulation, politics, and economics. You’ll learn how crypto rewrites money, what stablecoins actually do, how DAOs govern digital communities, and why many token ecosystems fail — not because of code, but because of incentives and governance. If you’re learning, building, investing, teaching, or regulating in Web3, this book offers critical clarity in a field full of jargon. As a longtime voice of clarity in the crypto world, the author Shermin Voshmgir weaves together historical analysis, technical insight, and interdisciplinary critique in a way that makes complex systems both legible and accessible. The third edition includes many more use cases than previous editions and reflects a maturing industry — one where many early promises of decentralization have collided with the realities of centralization, custody risk, regulatory capture, and broken incentive design. While many books on crypto focus on trading or superficial overviews, the book remains rooted in systems thinking and long-term relevance. What This Book Offers * A holistic framework for understanding Web3 infrastructure, including blockchain architectures, consensus mechanisms, privacy, scalability, and the economics of decentralization. * A critical exploration of money and tokenization, offering both historical context and future scenarios. It asks hard questions about whether cryptocurrencies and stablecoins can replace fiat money, and explains how financial literacy remains the first line of defense against fraud and hype. * A grounded analysis of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and purpose-driven tokens, using real-world case studies of protocols like Bitcoin, Helium, Ocean Protocol, and MakerDAO. * A design thinking framework for evaluating token incentives, governance structures, and stakeholder dynamics — bridging political science, economics, cybernetics, and complex systems theory. Whether you're a builder, policymaker, regulator, academic, investor, or simply crypto-curious, Token Economy will help you: * Understand the difference between hype and real infrastructure * Explore the incentives and governance dynamics embedded in every protocol * Make better decisions around investing, building, or regulating digital assets * Bridge the gap between idealism and realism in Web3

This book describes how the rapid advancement in encryption and network computing gave birth to new tools and products that have influenced the local and global economy alike. One recent and notable example is the emergence of virtual currencies (such as Bitcoin) also known as cryptocurrencies. Virtual currencies introduced a fundamental transformation that affected the way goods, services and assets are exchanged. As a result of its distributed ledgers based on blockchain, cryptocurrencies not only offer some unique advantages to the economy, investors, and consumers, but also pose considerable risks to users and challenges for regulators when fitting the new technology into the old legal framework. The core of this proposed book is to present and discuss the evidence on financial asset capabilities of virtual currencies. The contributors of this volume analyze several interesting and timely issues such as the particularities of virtual currencies and their statistical characteristics; the diversification benefits of virtual currencies; the behavior and dependence structure between virtual currencies and the financial markets; the economic implications of virtual currencies, their effects, their price risk, and contagion spillovers in a unified and comprehensive framework; the future of virtual currencies and their distributed ledgers technology.

An indispensable survey of new developments and results in experimental economics When The Handbook of Experimental Economics first came out in 1995, the notion of economists conducting lab experiments to generate data was relatively new. Since then, the field has exploded. This second volume of the Handbook covers some of the most exciting new growth areas in experimental economics, presents the latest results and experimental methods, and identifies promising new directions for future research. Featuring contributions by leading practitioners, the Handbook describes experiments in macroeconomics, charitable giving, neuroeconomics, other-regarding preferences, market design, political economy, subject population effects, gender effects, auctions, and learning and the economics of small decisions. Contributors focus on key developments and report on experiments, highlighting the dialogue between experimenters and theorists. While most of the experiments consist of laboratory studies, the book also includes several chapters that report extensively on field experiments related to the subject area studied. Covers exciting new growth areas in experimental economics Features contributions by leading experts Describes experiments in macroeconomics, charitable giving, neuroeconomics, market design, political economy, gender effects, auctions, and more Highlights the dialogue by experimenters with theorists and each other Includes several chapters covering field experiments related to the subject area studied
