Download or read book The Power of the Purse written by E. James Ferguson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Power of the Purse, E. James Ferguson examines the intricate financial history of the American Revolution and the Confederation and connects it to political and constitutional developments in the period. Whether states or Congress should pay the debts of the Revolution and collect the taxes was a pivotal question whose solution would largely determine the country's progress toward national union. Ultimately, says Ferguson, the Revolutionary debt fulfilled an important purpose as a "bond of union." Ferguson's masterful analysis, originally published in 1961, has become a classic among the literature on the American Revolution.

This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few decades, the world has witnessed advancements in electronic payments. From debit cards also regarded as "e-cheques" through to credit cards seen as "e-loans" to electronic purses "e-purses" which are essentially a form of "e-cash," consumers, merchants and issuers have begun to take advantage of advancements in telecommunication technology to facilitate payments using these means. However, although in the early 1990s, it was suggested by some payment analysts that smart cards particularly those with e-purse capabilities would lead to a cashless society, this has not been the case. This book aims to provide reasons for this slow adoption of electronic purses by comparing user adoption between Nigeria and the United Kingdom to arrive at the salient factors which are responsible for discouraging the adoption of this technology. Finally, using both qualitative and quantitative data from a diverse sample set within the two countries, I reach conclusions regarding which country would more readily adopt this method of payment.

Download or read book The Rise of Digital Money written by Mr.Tobias Adrian and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper marks the launch of a new IMF series, Fintech Notes. Building on years of IMF staff work, it will explore pressing topics in the digital economy and be issued periodically. The series will carry work by IMF staff and will seek to provide insight into the intersection of technology and the global economy. The Rise of Digital Money analyses how technology companies are stepping up competition to large banks and credit card companies. Digital forms of money are increasingly in the wallets of consumers as well as in the minds of policymakers. Cash and bank deposits are battling with so-called e-money, electronically stored monetary value denominated in, and pegged to, a currency like the euro or the dollar. This paper identifies the benefits and risks and highlights regulatory issues that are likely to emerge with a broader adoption of stablecoins. The paper also highlights the risks associated with e-money: potential creation of new monopolies; threats to weaker currencies; concerns about consumer protection and financial stability; and the risk of fostering illegal activities, among others.
