This book explores the transformative impact of technology on the global economy, arguing that rapid advancements are driving deflationary pressures by increasing efficiency and reducing costs across industries. The book posits that this deflation clashes with traditional economic systems built on inflation, creating a paradox where rising debt and outdated monetary policies struggle to adapt. It suggests that embracing technological change, rather than resisting it, is essential for future prosperity, advocating for a shift toward decentralized systems like cryptocurrencies to align with this new reality. The narrative weaves together historical context, economic theory, and forward-looking insights to highlight the urgency of rethinking how society measures and manages value in an era of accelerating change.

Most of us have an inherent understanding that a gold standard would be better than the endlessly printed fiat we have today. Many bitcoiners were “gold bugs” before bitcoin. Their core ethic hasn’t changed. In a world of instant communication and wire transfers between countries, bitcoin converts the cost of energy generation into the ideal commodity that has both intrinsic value and ultimate transportability.
Examines the profound impact of mobile technology on society, arguing that smartphones and tablets are ushering in a transformative era as the fifth wave of computing. It highlights how these devices, accessible to billions globally, are becoming indispensable tools, reshaping industries like entertainment, finance, healthcare, and education by replacing traditional systems with digital alternatives. Starting with inventions as simple as clay tablets, papyrus, and parchment, the narrative suggests that identifying and surfing the wave of technology shifts is key to prosperity. Combining historical analysis with forward-looking predictions, it envisions a world by 2025 where mobile computing dominates daily life, offering both opportunities and challenges in navigating this pervasive technological evolution.

This 1997 book forecasts a radical societal shift driven by the digital revolution, predicting that advancements in technology, particularly the internet and cryptography, will dismantle traditional power structures like nation-states and centralized economies. It envisions a future where individuals gain unprecedented autonomy over their wealth and identity, using digital tools to operate beyond the reach of conventional governance, leading to a new class of "sovereign individuals" who thrive in a borderless, information-based economy.

Broken Money explains why the gold standard HAD to be abandoned in a world where speed was more precious than universal value. Then it shows how bitcoin is able to merge the best of both worlds with technology that is far superior than the buggy system electronic system that has been cobbled together by banks since the 1950s.
