Offering the first scholarly analysis of the economic nature of
blockchains and the formation of the blockchain economy, this
timely book explores the future of global capitalism. Applying the
institutional economics of Ronald Coase and Oliver Williamson, the
authors highlight how blockchains are poised to reshape the nature
of firms, governments, markets and civil society. Chapters apply
basic economic principles to explore blockchains and distributed
ledger technologies through the framework of institutional
economics. The book suggests ways in which cryptocurrencies such as
Bitcoin may develop further in the future, bringing us back to a
barter economy which removes the need for a third person in
economic transactions. Outlining a ledger-centric view of the
economy, the authors explore how blockchains and
dehierarchalisation will reduce the demand for government
regulation. Institutional economists and scholars will greatly
appreciate the thorough analysis of the development of
institutional cryptoeconomics and insight into the future of
blockchains that this book offers. Computer and technology
scientists will also find this book to be a valuable read, as well
as those working specifically in the blockchain industry.
