Recommendation
Despite the rise of online transfers and mobile banking, along with some nations’ efforts to discourage the use of paper currency to combat the financing of illegal activities, physical money still reigns in most parts of the world. Many people prefer to conduct their daily business the old-fashioned way – with cold, hard cash. This informative look at the future of money from economic journalist Alan Wheatley presents a convincing vision of what forms payment options may take in the not-too-distant future. getAbstract recommends this succinct and thought-provoking article, intended for the general reader, to anyone interested in what makes the world go ‘round.
