How we pay is so fundamental that it underpins everything - from
trade to taxation, stocks and savings to salaries, pensions and
pocket money. Rich or poor, criminal, communist or capitalist, we
all rely on the same payments system, day in, day out. It sits
between us and not just economic meltdown, but a total breakdown in
law and order. Why then do we know so little about how it really
works?; As you read this, technology is dismantling payment
barriers and governments are erecting them; cash is on the way out,
and crypto and BigTech are fighting their way in. The Europeans are
heavily regulated, the Americans oddly backward, and the Chinese
hoping to lead the way forward. Challenging our understanding about
where financial power really lies, The Pay Off shows us that the
most important thing about money is the way we move it.; Leibbrandt
and De Teran shine a light on the hidden workings of the humble
payment - and reveal both how our payment habits are determined by
history as well as where we go from here. From national customs to
warring nation states, geopolitics will shape the future of
payments every bit as much as technology.
