Description
The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything The blockchain, a new kind of operating system, has the potential to revolutionize vast swaths of our economy. Michael J. Casey and Paul Vigna demystify the blockchain and explain its power to restore personal control over data, assets, and identities, and grant billions of excluded people access to the global economy. The authors reveal the disruption the blockchain promises for industries including finance, tech, legal, and shipping, as well as the challenge of replacing trusted institutions with a radical model that bypasses them. They also highlight the empowerment possible when self-interested middlemen give way to the transparency of the blockchain, and the job losses, assertion of special interests, and threat to social cohesion that will accompany this shift.
