Current systems are failing the poor because these systems are
unable to provide the financial inclusion needed for basic
subsistence and commerce, which in turn would drive micro and
macro-economic growth. This book introduces the reader to a new way
of thinking about how value can be created, captured, measured and
understood, economically and financially, and within in the context
of social contract. It underscores the need to revisit such models
through technological advancements, namely Industrial Revolution
4.0, in order to solve pressing global issues like economic
inclusion and poverty eradication. The book proposes that for
humanity to make the leap forward and for any real sustainable
development to occur, the world needs a disruptive approach to
value creation using currency systems, considering that currencies
underpin value exchange. This disruption will result in a level of
decentralization that facilitates peer-to-peer value exchange and
drives financial inclusion, all of which should be underscored by a
new, digital social contract. The author asserts that a time-based
digital currency could address these issues by creating a new and
truly inclusive currency model that allows economies to gain more
value than previously possible. In addition, by leveraging 4IR
technologies, a currency system can be designed where each unit of
money accurately reflects the context and range of socio-economic
factors that influence each human interaction. This book is aimed
at futurists, technologists, researchers, policymakers, and anyone
that is curious about how technology could make a difference in our
collective futures. It cuts across a range of subject areas from
economics, finance, philosophy, innovation to social development
and takes an interdisciplinary approach to present a logical
framework and theoretical foundation for the monetization of time
as a digital currency.
