Counterfeit Trust & The Nature Of Money (book)

[lmviterbo]

A new book about money, written by the Pete Best of Apple, is being campaigned on Kickstarter since yesterday (the author's 89th birthday).

In fact, judging by the campaign video, it might be interesting. I pledged.

De auteur bespreekt hoe geld functioneert als een sociaal construct en hoe vertrouwen daarin essentieel is voor economische stabiliteit. Ook worden de risico's van vervalsing en digitale valuta's behandeld, waarbij de rol van technologie in de toekomst van geld centraal staat. Dit boek biedt een diepgaand inzicht voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in economie, financiën en de dynamiek van vertrouwen.

The campaign got funded and I ended up getting the book. It's terrible in fact, on all counts: thoughts and ideas, structure, writing, even design.

I wish all the best for its author Ronald Wayne, and I don't regret having bought this thing, but I wonder how this book came to be so bad. I wished I had learned some new perspective on money and finance, but I guess I have to wait for another opportunity.
