The idea that BIG changes will be mandated by governments and banks has some researchers looking with a critical eye for signs this is coming...
The cashless society has long been discussed as the bankers' wet dream - imagine:
- No more bank-runs
- All transactions controlled by banks and their proxies
- 100% tax compliance
- Greater Capital control
- Mass Surveillance & detailed profile on EVERYONE
...
On and on the happy list of benefits for the financial engineers goes.
I thought it very telling when the January 2016 DAVOS World Economic Forum theme was “The Fourth Industrial Revolution“ .
Of the myriad challenges the world faces today, perhaps the most overwhelming is how to shape the Fourth Industrial Revolution that began at the turn of the century. New technologies and approaches are merging the physical, digital, and biological worlds in ways that will fundamentally transform humankind. The extent to which that transformation is positive will depend on how we navigate the risks and opportunities that arise along the way.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution builds on the Third Industrial Revolution, also known as the Digital Revolution, which entailed the proliferation of computers and the automation of record keeping; but the new wave of transformation differs from its predecessors in a few key ways. First, innovations can be developed and diffused faster than ever. Second, falling marginal production costs and the rise of platforms that aggregate and concentrate activity in multiple sectors augment returns to scale. Third, this global revolution will affect – and be shaped by – all countries, and have a systems-level impact in many areas. – weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/
Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum (WEF)said this:
“We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before. We do not yet know just how it will unfold, but one thing is clear: the response to it must be integrated and comprehensive, involving all stakeholders of the global polity, from the public and private sectors to academia and civil society.”
Blockchain tech (aka FINTECH) could be the gateway to that society - the digital economy.
