Abstract

This review discusses three short books covering different aspects of the digital revolution in payments. The first is written by an anthropologist. It focuses on mobile payments, particularly in the developing world, in the broad context of money and social relationships. The second is a comparative collection of papers on legal aspects relating to Bitcoin. The third addresses the potential of digital currencies and their underlying technology, well beyond Bitcoin, to forever revolutionize the world of money and payments.
