MAROTTA ON THE THE FUTURE OF MONEY

Mike Marotta writes:

Thanks for posting ANA Past President Gary Adkins's talk on "The Future of Money." Mark Benvenuto, Ron Guth, and I also presented at the convention on the same subject. I posted a version on my blog, NecessaryFacts. I also created a Google Drive folder that has all of my slides and my complete set of coordinated lecture notes.

Thanks. Mike covers a lot of ground here, from the core definition of money, the tight bonds between money and language, the invention of the mathematics of risk, and the idea of personal money. As bibliophiles know instinctively, an understanding of possible futures is often rooted in an understanding of the nature and trajectory of the past and present. Mike draws on concepts from a number of books. I've listed some here for reader reference. -Editor
