Recommendation

Do you have anything for sale? Consider yourself. The ascent of democratized finance, emerging from developments in decentralized finance, is shaping a new ecosystem in which you’re the product. Financial writer Rex Woodbury explores “self-tokenization” in this intriguing look at how individuals are becoming the masters of their financial destinies by removing intermediaries and controlling their economic narratives. But in a world where everyone is an investor, everyone can be an investment, Woodbury astutely notes, running the risk of human relationships becoming purely transactional.

Take-Aways

  • The old ways of finance are prone to gaping inequities.
  • The new finance endeavors to create a more level playing field.
  • Social capital investment requires safeguards.
