{"product_id":"money-code-space-jack-parkin-9780197515082","title":"Money Code Space: Hidden Power in Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Decentralisation","description":"Following the catastrophic events of the 2008 global financial crisis, an anonymous hacker released Bitcoin to claw back power from commercial and central banks. It quickly garnered an enthusiastic following who sought to forge a stable and democratic global economy--a world free from hierarchy and control. In their eyes, Bitcoin's underlying architecture, blockchain, hailed the dawn of decentralisation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eMoney Code Space\u003c\/em\u003e shatters these emancipatory claims. In their place, Jack Parkin constructs a new framework for revealing the geographies of power that lie behind blockchain networks. Drawing on first-hand experience in cryptocurrency communities and start-up companies from Silicon Valley to London, Parkin untangles the complex web of culture, politics, and economics that truly drive decentralisation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Parkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197515088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197515082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2021","brand":"Jack Parkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047556903167,"sku":"9780197515082","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_425b66da-fde9-4f66-a61d-687c0d8a410c.jpg?v=1684990893","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/money-code-space-jack-parkin-9780197515082","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
