Description
How Would You Like to Pay? explores the complex relationship between money and technology. For 3,000 years, coins and paper bills have been used alongside new innovations in payment systems.
The use of mobile phones to send and save money is particularly relevant in developing countries where access to traditional banking services is limited. Anthropologist Bill Maurer examines how these changes are transforming the way we think about money and its role in everyday life.
By understanding the social relationships and infrastructures that underpin our payment systems, we can gain insights into what we value and how we want to live. This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on something fundamental to human society.
