In 'The Price of Tomorrow,' Jeff Booth argues that technological progress is driving a natural deflationary force in the economy, which is being countered by government and central bank interventions through money printing and debt creation. Booth contends that our current economic systems, built on debt and inflation, are unsustainable and will lead to increased polarization and economic trouble if not adjusted. He advocates for embracing deflation and restructuring our economic frameworks to harness the abundance that technology can bring. The book covers a broad range of topics including the impact of technology on job markets, equality, and societal stability, and it concludes with a call to action for policymakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs to adapt to these new economic realities.
The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. The book takes the reader on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems to modern government debt. It explains the operation of Bitcoin as a decentralized, distributed piece of software that converts electricity and processing power into indisputably accurate records, allowing users to perform traditional monetary functions without relying on authorities or physical infrastructure. The book also explores common questions surrounding Bitcoin and its potential as a store of value and a network for final settlement of large payments, challenging government monopolies and offering a vision of money extricated from politics and borders.
