Tokens: The Future of Money in the Age of the Platform

The book "Tokens" by Rachel O'Dwyer is a groundbreaking exploration of the future of money in our digital age.

With longlisting for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year, this book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of how digital platforms are transforming the way we think about money.

From phone credit to shares, gift vouchers, game tokens, and customer data, O'Dwyer reveals the new types of control and discrimination emerging when money is tied to specific apps or actions, politics or identities.

This book provides an essential read for anyone concerned with digital money, inequality, and the future of the economy.

With a focus on the history of extra-monetary economies and the growing power of large tech platforms, "Tokens" offers a flexible and subversive route to compensation while raising important questions about the balance of power between online empires and the state.
