Recommendation

Ask a sample of CEOs and government officials about innovation, and invariably the topic of blockchain will come up. The technology is already at work in health care, finance, supply chain management and more, but professor Kevin Werbach assesses the landscape and future of blockchain from the perspective of its governance. He examines how stakeholders are advancing the technology amid calls by many to police it. Officials, executives and business owners will find this a broad look at a pioneering development in commerce and society.

Take-Aways

  • Blockchain is redefining the concept of trust in social, financial and governmental interactions.
  • Blockchain and digital currencies are advancing in tandem.
  • The technology has evolved beyond bitcoin into a new realm of distributed ledger offerings.
