Money Revolution: Fintech Disruption from Bullion to Bitcoin

Money makes the world go 'round. We are a monetary society. But what is money? And who controls it?

The answers to these questions are in constant debate, because money is forever changing.

In Money Revolution, author Shaun M. Rowles cracks open the treasure chest of history to show us why "money" as we know it is the result of frequent technological disruption. Coins, credit, the gold standard, central banks-these financial technologies both shaped society and revolutionized how we live. Bitcoin is only the latest disruptor on the scene, redefining what is money and who controls it. And it won't be the last.

This is a story of revolution.
