Pełny opis

Money has always carried political power, but digital currency may transform that power into continuous infrastructure. As governments explore Central Bank Digital Currency systems, financial transactions increasingly become traceable, programmable, and potentially subject to direct administrative control.This account investigates the technical and political foundations of CBDC development across major economies. Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies, central bank digital currencies operate within state-controlled financial architectures capable of monitoring payment activity in real time. Policymakers describe these systems as tools for efficiency, anti-corruption measures, and faster monetary coordination, yet critics warn of unprecedented surveillance potential.The book also places this transition within a broader geopolitical context. Economic alliances such as BRICS pursue alternative payment networks designed to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar and existing Western financial systems. Competing visions of digital settlement infrastructure increasingly shape global economic strategy.The future of money therefore concerns more than technology alone. It concerns the balance between monetary convenience, geopolitical rivalry, and the degree of financial anonymity modern societies are willing to surrender.
