xi, 203 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Offering the first scholarly analysis of the blockchain economy, this timely book explores the future of global capitalism. Applying the institutional economics of Ronald Coase and Oliver Williamson, the authors highlight how blockchains are poised to reshape the nature of firms, governments, markets and civil society. Chapters apply basic economic principles to explore blockchains and distributed ledger technologies through the framework of institutional economics. The book suggests ways in which cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin may develop into a barter economy which removes the need for a third person in economic transactions. Outlining a ledger-centric view of the economy, the authors explore how blockchains and dehierarchalisation might reduce the demand for government regulation in this neoliberal age. Institutional economists and scholars will appreciate the thorough analysis of cryptoeconomics and the future of blockchains that this book offers. Computer and technology scientists will also find this book to be a valuable read.-- Adapted from back cover.
