The Economics of FinTech: Understanding Digital Transformation in Financial Services

A groundbreaking, comprehensive exploration of how FinTech innovation is reshaping finance.

Technological innovation has shaped the role of finance since the introduction of the ATM in the 1960s, but never more consequentially than by the massive digital revolution in the financial services industry known as FinTech. The Economics of FinTech is a comprehensive introduction to this rapidly evolving and increasingly important domain, and a groundbreaking exploration of how FinTech is reshaping finance.

Coverage includes in-depth analysis of emerging technologies and innovations across various sectors of financial services as well as the entrepreneurial finance of FinTech such as funding, valuation, and startup management.
