Neurocryptoeconomics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789921012576)

Neuro-cryptoeconomics. Neuro - Crypto - Economics. Preface: The past decade has witnessed a tremendous increase in both popular interest and scholarly work at the intersection of neuroscience, behavioral science, psychology, and economics. With the introduction of bitcoin, a new field called cryptoeconomics has emerged in which computation and economics join forces in the study of decentralized markets and systems. However, as with classical economics, cryptoeconomics does not necessarily take into consideration neuroscientific, behavioral, or psychological attributes, even though behavioral economics has shown how classical economic models can be limiting. That being said, standard economic models cannot always be applied directly to cryptoeconomics due to its peculiarities, and it needs to be a stand-alone field and discipline. We also have witnessed how advanced knowledge and understanding of neuroscience, behavioral science, and psychology have influenced different economic activities, entities, and models. These advancements and influences bring us to the purpose of this work: to define the nascent field of neurocryptoeconomics and assert the necessity of having neurocryptoeconomics as a distinct field and academic discipline. To my knowledge, this is the first-ever work written on neurocryptoeconomics. It is written with the intent to provide a short and easy-to-comprehend introduction to neurocryptoeconomics, and why we need it today and in the future. Finally, by making this book short, with minimal scientific jargon, and with no sections, it is hoped that it will allow you to be introduced to neurocryptoeconomics in one glide.
