It is known that trust is of the utmost importance in human
interactions, and blockchain technology establishes a new type of
foundation for financial and political confidence. This new kind of
trust is based on cryptographic techniques and distributed in
digital networks. In an uncertain world where it is difficult to
tell what is real or fake, decentralized organizational networks
may prove to be particularly competitive given that this new
""distributed trust"" endows them with an unusual functional
autonomy, namely guaranteeing the authenticity, confidentiality,
and integrity of the processed data. Besides the direct sharing of
information enabled by blockchain, transactions can now also take
place with newfound trust and ways to safely manage personal data.
It is important to look at these implications, particularly in
sectors such as business and healthcare. Political and Economic
Implications of Blockchain Technology in Business and Healthcare
provides relevant theoretical frameworks on the political and
economic impact of blockchain technology, which is thought to be
able to redesign human interactions concerning transactions.
Specifically, it will give ideas, concepts, and instruments
considered relevant to advance the knowledge about
""cryptoeconomics"" and decentralized governance. The chapters will
also provide several insights on business applications of this
digital innovation, particularly in the healthcare sector, and will
explore the ethical impact of the new ""distributed trust""
paradigm resulting from the surge of such a disruptive technology.
This book is essential for students and researchers in social and
life sciences, professionals and policymakers working in the fields
of public and business administration, healthcare workers and
researchers, academicians, and students interested in blockchain
technology and the political and economic impacts in the industry.
