The Internet Bubble by Perkins, Anthony B. by HarperCollins Publishers, Hardcover

This used book is in Good condition. The spectacular Bull Market in high-tech stocks is the investment story of the decade. The numbers are astonishing. The Internet boom has created new household names such as Yahoo, Amazon, and America Online - companies that today command billions in market value. Internet startups like Healtheon and eBay have seen their stocks sky-rocket over 3000 percent since their IPOs, and dozens of other Internet stocks have doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled on their first day of trading. Here is a market where: entrepreneurs like the thirty-something founders of Yahoo and Amazon become global billionaires overnight; money-losing startups command market valuations that make the captains of traditional industry cry their hearts out and tremble with competitive fear; and venture capitalists and investment bankers cash in big on companies barely out of the cradle. But individual retail investors - the outsiders in this turn of the century roulette game - are left to foot the bill, paying exorbitant prices for stocks that will end up diving off a cliff. TheInternet Bubble is the story of the turbulent world ofhigh-tech stocks, a place where fortunes aremade and lost in a day. This book uncovers the innerworkingsof an industry that increasingly thrives ongreed and hype. It shows who is really getting rich, and how they use small investors to finance their empires. Silicon Valley insiders Anthony and Michael Perkins provide a behind-the-scenes look at the forces - and the people - stoking the money engine in the technology stock market. They show how the allure of fast-paced innovation and overnight success has driven an ongoing market frenzy around Internetstocks, creating what they call an "Internet Bubble." Most important, the authors show that, when the Bubble inevitably bursts, Main Street - not Wall Street - will take the big hit, unless individual investors take steps to protect themselves now. This is a book that will make every investor in America think twice before chasing the latest "hot" Internet stock. By HarperCollins Publishers [ 9780066640013 ]

Money: The Unauthorized BiographyFrom Coinage to Cryptocurrencies by Martin, Felix by Vintage, Paperback

What is money, and how does it work? In this tour de force of political, cultural, and economic history, Felix Martin challenges nothing less than our conventional understanding of one of humankind's greatest inventions. Martin describes how the Western idea of money emerged in the ancient world, and was shaped over the centuries by tensions between sovereigns and the emerging middle classes. Money, he argues, has always been an intensely political instrument, and that it is our failure to remember this that led to the crisis in our financial system and the Great Recession. He concludes with practical solutions for making money serve us-and, in an introduction and epilogue new to this edition, a discussion of what Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies mean for money's future. From John Locke to Montesquieu, from Sparta to the Soviet Union, Money is a far-ranging and magisterial work of history and economics, with profound implications for the world today.

Cloudmoney: Cash, Cards, Crypto, and the War for Our Wallets by Scott, Brett by Harper Business, Hardcover

This used book is in Good condition. Axiom Award Gold Medalist for Business CommentaryThe reach of Corporations into our lives via cards and apps has never been greater; many of us rarely use cash these days. But what we're told is a natural and inevitable move is actually the work of powerful interests. And the great battle of our time is the battle for ownership of the footprints that make up our lives. In Cloudmoney, Brett Scott tells an urgent and revelatory story about how the fusion of Big Finance and Big Tech requires "cloudmoney"- money underpinned by the banking sector-to replace physical cash. He dives beneath the surface of the global financial system to uncover a long-established lobbying infrastructure: an alliance of partners waging a covert war on cash. He explains the technical, political, and cultural differences between our various forms of money and shows how the cash system has been under attack for decades, as banking and tech companies promote a cashless society under the banner of progress. Cloudmoney takes us to the front lines of a war for our wallets that is also about our freedom, from marketing strategies against cash to the weaponization of COVID-19 to push fintech platforms, and from there to the rise of the cryptocurrency rebels and fringe groups pushing back. It asks the most pressing questions: Who benefits from a cashless society and who gets left behind?Is the end of cash the end of true privacy?And is our cloudmoney future closer than we think it is?War on Cash: Uncover the long-established lobbying infrastructure waging a covert war on physical money, from sophisticated marketing strategies to the weaponization of the pandemic. Corporate Power: Explore how the fusion of Big Finance and Big Tech creates "cloudmoney," a system designed to lock us into a new infrastructure of control and data extraction. The End of Privacy: A deep dive into the battle for our footprints and an urgent question: is the end of cash the end of true privacy?The Cashless Society: Scott asks who truly benefits from a cashless society and who gets left behind, from fintech platforms to the cryptocurrency rebels pushing back.
