The War Against Cash

By Ross Clark

Review

Despite constant promotion of a “cashless future,” we must be wary of surrendering physical currency.

Companies want to monitor our spending habits through electronic payments. Governments want to control the economy by removing paper money. While electronic payments can be useful, we should be alarmed at the prospect of losing the right to use cash. If we willingly go cashless for expediency, we may regret relinquishing that freedom. Clark’s new book compellingly argues that preserving the option of cash protects our interests against those who would exploit a solely digital economy.
