From Bitcoin to Apple Pay, big changes seem to be afoot in the
world of money. Yet the use of coins and paper bills has persisted
for 3,000 years. In How Would You Like to Pay?, leading
anthropologist Bill Maurer narrates money's history, considers its
role in everyday life, and discusses the implications of how new
technologies are changing how we pay. These changes are especially
important in the developing world, where people who lack access to
banks are using cell phones in creative ways to send and save
money. To truly understand money, Maurer explains, is to understand
and appreciate the complex infrastructures and social relationships
it relies on. Engaging and straightforward, How Would You Like to
Pay? rethinks something so familiar and fundamental in new and
exciting ways. Ultimately, considering how we would like to pay
gives insights into determining how we would like to
live. Â
