Linotte D: Questioning the International
Role of the Dollar

Questioning the International Role of the Dollar

A Century Old Story

Diese neue Disney-Hommage vereint zwei Comic-Stars: Nicolas Keramidas zeichnet nach "Mickey's Craziest Adventures" und "Donald's Happiest Adventures" zum dritten Mal die Enten, diesmal nach einem Szenario von niemand Geringerem als Lucky-Luke-Autor Jul! 
 Zusammen widmen sie sich einem topaktuellen Thema: Dagobert Duck entschließt sich, mit der Zeit zu gehen und in Bitquacks zu investieren (auch, wenn es sich in virtueller Währung nicht so gut schwimmt), während seine Neffen ihm helfen, Social-Media-Star zu werden. 
 
 Doch der Erfolg ruft neidische Tech-Milliardäre und altbekannte Knacker auf den Plan ...

Onkel Dagobert und die Bitquacks

From the author of&nbsp;A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at the world of cryptocurrencies, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a multi-trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are alienated by an economic system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Enter&nbsp;Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she exposes the dangerous consequences of crypto's rise and offers alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually be.

The New Financial Dystopia

Crypto-Capitalism

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Uniswap or Tether are not just digitals currencies. Bitcoin is pure law. Since the emergence of the blockchain, it is possible to regulate ourselves in a decentralized, private way, with a law that is digital, self-regulating and self-executing. 

 Likewise, states, elites and official organizations repeat over and over again the same message from various platforms: Bitcoin is unregulated, it is only good for dirty business, it is merely speculative, etc. While we listen to these slogans, the price of Bitcoin continues to rise, unstoppable.
 
 We are witnessing the birth of a new law: internet law. Every era has its own legal system. Property law arose out of the settlement of agricultural societies. Commercial law was born in the Middle Ages. Corporate law flourished in the 17th century, thanks to the maritime mercantile business. Labour law appeared among the assembly lines of the factories of the Industrial Revolution. Digital laws, such as Bitcoin, are those of internet jurisdiction.
 
 Internet technology allows us to be sovereign, to issue digital laws in a decentralized way, and to organize ourselves through new institutions. It is our responsibility to seek social and legal solutions in line with the internet revolution. This is the message that Bitcoin gives us: let's not leave in the hands of distrustful third parties what we can solve from the community itself. Money and law, in the end, belong to society - to the community - and not to states.

Why Cryptocurrencies are Digital Laws of the Internet Jurisdiction and Why States Must Adapt

Bitcoin Digital Law

Phenomenal World Books

A critical history of the US dollar's dominance in the world economy--and what has kept China's currency from overtaking it. The dollar is the primary currency of the world economy. With China now rivaling the United States on the world stage, a critical question hangs in the balance: will the Chinese renminbi challenge the status of the dollar and, in doing so, deprive America of its "exorbitant privilege"? In GreenbackEmpire, Ho-fung Hung offers a powerful account of why, even as American shares of global production, ownership, and trade continue to decline, its currency has retained the support of governments and investors around the world. For six decades, Hung shows, the dominance of the dollar has rested on the security umbrella that the US offers to the world's wealthiest countries--including oil producers. To these countries, support for the value of the dollar is tantamount to maintaining US protection. While China has become a serious geopolitical and economic rival to the US, the Chinese state's airtight control of its financial system has delayed the free trading of the renminbi, limiting the currency's internationalization. In short, the same strategy that engineered growth in China's economy is restraining its currency's rise in opposition to the dollar. Hung's Greenback Empire is an essential history of the dollar's prowess, indispensable for understanding the future of the global monetary system.

Global Dollar Dominance and the New Cold War

Greenback Empire

In this ambitious and groundbreaking history of the dollar, financial journalist and economic scholar Brendan Greeley makes a new argument about the origins of our money—and the people and nations who have surrendered to it. “Eye-opening, educational, exhaustively reported, and very fun to read.”—Foreign Policy America’s money is global money—nearly every nation in the world writes international contracts in dollars, and in 2023, central banks around the world held nearly $6.7 trillion in dollar reserves, three times any other currency. Today, the United States’ global hegemony rests largely on its ability to produce unlimited treasury bonds that are sold around the world, dollars that supported America’s explosive growth in the twentieth century and funded its massive wars in the twenty-first. American power and the American dollar have become synonymous. Yet in this brilliant 500-year history, Brendan Greeley argues that America’s sovereignty over the dollar is an illusion—that the dollar had already empowered and destroyed nations long before it washed up on colonial shores, and that no country or king has or can ever truly control it. Reaching back to the dollar’s birth as the taler in the 15th-century silver mines of St. Joachimsthal, Greeley reveals how the dollar first thrived as a commodity for merchants and bankers—a big, silver coin that was trusted around the world, even as the miners who pulled it from the ground had trouble getting paid in that same silver. Greeley traces a captivatingly complex path across time and place, from the industrial collapse at the heart of Spain’s 17th-century silver empire, to the birth of American paper dollars in colonial Maryland, 19th-century New Orleans bank failures, and the small town of Hawarden, Iowa, which created its own dollars during the Great Depression. At every surprising turn, Greeley upends assumptions about global currencies and draws out the centuries-old tension between how dollars are manufactured and whom they actually serve. Singular in its breadth, The Almighty Dollar dismantles the myth that America created or has ever truly controlled the dollar. Through meticulous research and vividly rendered stories of merchants, monarchs, and everyday people both past and present, Greeley shows how the dollar became America’s greatest export, spawning a vast financial industry that enriches the wealthy, even as the rest of the country’s industries suffer.

500 Years of the World's Most Powerful Money

The Almighty Dollar

A succinct introduction to the theoretical debate on economic development and stagnation. In this book, André Nassif examines the complexity of economic theory, shaped by the interactions of diverse agents-firms, households, governments, and banks-across various markets. Despite its abstract nature, economic theories can be made accessible through careful explanation. Development and Stagnation covers the main theoretical foundations of economic development and incorporates key contributions from Latin America. Overall, the book offers a comprehensive overview of contemporary debates that critically engages with these theories while maintaining academic rigor.&nbsp;

Development and Stagnation

This book explores how blockchain-based digital assets, particularly Bitcoin, are disrupting traditional financial and audit environments by introducing new levels of complexity and transparency. It presents the Assertion-Based Audit Framework (BTC_AF), a structured, International Standards on Auditing-aligned methodology that enables auditors to obtain reliable and re-performable evidence directly from the Bitcoin blockchain. By leveraging blockchain’s core features—cryptographic integrity, immutability, and decentralization—the framework enhances audit quality, consistency, and stakeholder confidence. Developed through a design science approach and validated in real-world scenarios, BTC_AF addresses critical assurance challenges such as asset existence, rights, valuation, and custody. This pioneering work bridges the gap between blockchain technology and professional auditing, laying the groundwork for auditing other emerging digital asset classes.

Ein kurzer Einstieg in Bitcoin

HARD MONEY Das BITCOIN Zeitalter

Materialising the Digital

Where and how we pay is changing dramatically. This timely, innovative book navigates the so-called 'Cambrian explosion' of FinTech companies and more specifically to the emergence of Blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies through the lens of the case of Ripple, a company in the field of cryptoassets and cross-border payments. Combining STS with human geography and political economy, it navigates the maelstrom of proliferating new and old payment infrastructure, to develop a theoretical and empirical 'infrastructural inversion' of money. Money does not just flow through or behave like an infrastructure, but rather it is an infrastructure, because it is predicated upon the existence of accounting and payment infrastructures of memory for its very existence. Using the concepts of active forms and dispositions from design and architecture, this nuanced book analyses how money's infrastructures act in the world materially, spatially, as objects and subjects of desire and as political and economic machines. If we want new forms of money for new forms of society, we need to think holistically and ecologically about the complex combinations of materiality, space, desire and political economies that money generates and propagates. Tracing the trajectory of a cryptoasset project from an alternative credit system to an interbank, cross-border company, the book moves beyond a Bitcoin-centric view of money. It reveals how alternative and mainstream, networked and sovereign forms of money have long been intertwined.

Principales Criptomonedas Que Debes Conocer

Even before its launch, economists questioned whether the Euro Area had what it takes to become an optimal currency area. The onset of the crisis in 2010 confirmed challenges in its construction that many had partly predicted. But has the Euro Area changed over time, and what key drivers are necessary to strengthen it in the future? 

This is the third of three volumes that use optimal currency area theory and applied econometric techniques to provide a compact analysis of the Euro Area, its evolution and future perspectives. This volume is dedicated to a criterion often seen as critical for an optimal currency area: a risk-sharing mechanism. Did the Euro Area’s stabilization mechanisms work as intended? In this timely book, the authors discuss the extent to which the Euro Area has developed fiscal transfers, insurance schemes, and financial markets that allow its members to share macroeconomic risks and smooth asymmetric shocks. The book is of interest to a wide range of researchers in financial economics, macroeconomics and economic policy.

This book touches on a wide range of legal issues that the BRICS countries or the BRICS legal scholars particularly care about. Given the intensified geo-political competition, it is important for government officials and legal scholars around the word understand not only their own legal conceptions, but also those legal positions owned by the others, so as to construct an inclusive legal order that is acceptable to the largest majority of the global population. This book provides an insightful legal perspective of the BRICS countries and scholars, making up for the lack of English literature on the legal research of the BRICS.
