Conceived as the beginning of a necessary interdisciplinary dialogue, the possibilities of post-monetary forms of organization and production are taken into account and examined. On  one hand there is a lot of talk about 'digital revolution', 'mediatized society', 'networks', 'Industry 4.0'. On the other hand the present is described in terms of crisis: 'financial crisis', 'economic crisis', 'planetary boundaries'. At once there is the description of a media-technological change along with massive social and ecological disruptions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSociety After Money\u003c\/i\u003e is based on the premise that  there might be a conflict between digital media\/digital technology and the medium of money – and perhaps new digital possibilities that allow alternative forms of economy. It criticizes what is normally seen as self-evident and natural, namely that social coordination has to be done by the medium of money. We're left with a highly innovative collection of contributions that initiates a broader social discourse on the role of money in the global society of the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“'Logic is the money of the mind', wrote Karl Marx in 1844. In 2018, in a world of humans with minds transformed by the global impact of information technologies, logic becomes distorted: Will money as we know it disappear? \u003ci\u003eSociety After Money\u003c\/i\u003e uses transdisciplinary approaches to understand burning questions of today's society: How will the digital revolution change money forms? Is money indeed a necessary ingredient of social dynamics? What is the essence of money? In this thought provoking book, a broad variety of ideas has been collected. It should be read by everybody interested in thinking about money in a fresh and unconventional way.” —\u003ci\u003eHardy Hanappi, Jean Monnet Chair for Political Economy of European Integration, Technological University of Vienna, Austria\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781501374005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40819064766670,"sku":"9781501374005","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_9d4ebd61-ae94-4c4f-9376-d9104b3ebcdc.jpg?v=1642922360","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781501374005","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
