Reimagining Money - (Culture and Economic Life) by Sibel Kusimba (Paperback)

The book "Reimagining Money" by Sibel Kusimba is a groundbreaking exploration of how digital payment technology is transforming the way we think about money in Kenya and beyond.

With a richly detailed portrait of how mobile money is changing the economic and social landscape, this book offers a fresh perspective on the notion of money as wealth-in-people.

Through fascinating accounts of urban and transnational migrants maintaining ties with rural areas through money gifts, families using crowdfunding software to assemble donations for emergency medical care, and new financial groups investing in real estate and funding weddings, Kusimba challenges accepted wisdom and proposes a new theory of money that can be applied to designing better financial technologies in the future.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the true impact of digital payment technology on our lives and communities.
