MoneyLab Reader – out now!

The print edition of the MoneyLab Reader: An Intervention in Digital Economy is now available. The E-Pub of the Reader will follow shortly. Copies can be ordered on the Institute of Network Cultures website: http://networkcultures.org/publications/#increaders

The MoneyLab Reader brings developments in crowdfunding, currency design, technologies of payment, and other economic experiments into dialogue. The authors of this volume discuss the implications of the current architecture of global finance, its impact on ever-growing income disparity, and question money and finance as such. It is not always clear, for instance, whether genuine alternatives are unfolding or if we are simply witnessing the creative extension of neoliberalism. At stake is the full spectrum of technologies of economic (re)distribution.
