The Blockchain, Complexity Economics and Generalism with Kary Bheemaiah
Blockchain technology has potential to transform society. It's described as 'the trust machine' - an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value. My guest for this episode is Kary Bheemaiah -a researcher, lecturer, writer, technology consultant based in Paris. Kary recently published book, ‘The Blockchain Alternative: Rethinking Macroeconomic Policy and Economic Theory’ explores the macroeconomic implications of the blockchain. His other writings have been published in WIRED, Harvard Business Review, and Les Echos among others. Topics covered in this conversation include: complexity economics, generalism, the blockchain (duh) and fractional banking.
