Crypto is red-hot right now.
Media outlets are giving crypto unprecedented airtime while the general
public has been captivated by the staggering price rises seen across
the board. When measured in US dollar terms, Bitcoin ballooned by over
10 times in the 2017 calendar year alone.
Beyond the tremendous increases in value, crypto has received so much
attention because of the challenging questions it raises about money
and the role of central authorities such as banks and governments -
roles which were taken for granted in the past.Before the start of the
crypto revolution, government-issued banknotes and coins seemed to be
the only conceivable forms of money. We had never known any other way
in our lifetime, nor in that of our parents.
Fast-forward to today, and many members of the crypto community
ardently believe that crypto is destined to replace government-issued
money, just as the personal computer replaced the typewriter. If this
vision is even halfright, the implications are hard to overstate. At
the very least, crypto promises to substantially weaken the monopoly
power of centralized institutions.
But these are still early days for crypto. And most members of the
public find crypto to be, well, cryptic. As United States Senator
Thomas Carper said: "Virtual currencies, perhaps most notably Bitcoin,
have captured the imagination of some, struck fear among others, and
confused the heck out of the rest of us."1 Perhaps some readers can
relate to that sentiment.
Truthfully, few people have an accurate understanding of how crypto
works, and many are highly skeptical. The Crypto Intro has been written
to explain everything and respond to the tough crypto questions.But we
may be getting ahead of ourselves. Before taking a look at how crypto
functions, let's make sure we understand what we're talking about.
Handbook of Economic Stagnation takes a broad view, including
contributions from orthodox and heterodox economists who examine
situations in countries and worldwide regions, including Japan and
the Euro area. To be sure, stagnation is periodically relieved by
short economic bursts usually brought on by unsustainable asset
price bubbles. Once the bubbles burst, stagnation returns. This
book's fresh, comprehensive approach to the topic makes it the
premier source for anyone affected by these cycles.
George J. Benston, professor of Finance, Accounting, and Economics
at Emory University's Goizueta Business School, died unexpectedly
in January 2008. He was an impassioned advocate for corporate
integrity and a unique scholar; his research interests were as
broad as those of any recent academician. His colleagues have
selected and organized his most important papers into two volumes.
This first volume consists of his research in the banking and
financial services industry. The editor has selected a broad range
of papers from each of the major areas that are representative of
Benston's work in that particular field. James D. Rosenfeld,
Professor of Finance, Accounting, and Economics, Goizueta Business
School, Emory University, serves as the editor and is assisted by
an editorial advisory board including George Kaufman, Greg Waymire,
Bob Eisenbeis, Larry Wall, Rashad Abdel-Kalik, and Lemma Senbet.
Following the positive contribution of microfinance to economic
development in some parts of South East Asia and Africa, a huge
amount of time has been devoted by researchers to understand this
concept for sustainable development in Africa, particularly in
Sub-Saharan Africa. The concept of microfinance also has
significant positive relationship with microbusiness development.
Though there are a few books on the relationship between
microfinance and poverty reduction in Africa and some developing
countries across world. There is no specific book that explores the
relationship between microfinance and sustainable development in
Africa. Certainly, the use of microfinance for poverty reduction
and economic development in the developing world is growing.
However, this concept needs to be expanded to ensure its
application with the view to achieving sustainable development in
developing countries, particularly in Africa. Therefore, this book
seeks to explore how the provision of microfinance to individuals,
groups and business organisations facilitates economic growth and
sustainable development in Africa. In this regard, this book hopes
to examine the complex relationship between receipt of
microfinance, poverty reduction, economic growth and microbusiness
development, focusing on the provision of small credit facilities
as a driver of sustainable development in Africa. This book aims to
examine and bring on board the various views and perspectives on
the relationship between microfinance and sustainable economic
development in Africa through industry experts, experienced
researchers and policymakers. The concept of microfinance and its
relationship with sustainable development in Africa will be
explored by these experts and contributors from different
perspectives with the view to forming an opinion on the problems,
processes and prospects of microfinance in Africa. The focus here
is Sub-Saharan Africa, which has witnessed growing activities of
microfinance institutions. Theoretical and empirical insight to be
provided in this book will be a priceless resource to microfinance
institutions, policymakers, state institutions, managers and
non-governmental organisations working in developing countries
particularly in Africa. This book is envisaged to also benefit
financial institutions that are looking to expand their product
portfolio and outreach. The book will offer great insight into
theoretical, policy-oriented and practical ways to address some of
the challenges of using microfinance for sustainable development in
Africa. Given the focus of this book on the nexus between
microfinance and sustainable development, there will be a
broadening of ideas on how the provision of microfinance can aid
sustainable development in Africa.
