Book excerpt: Because most people and their countries seek wealth and power, and because money and credit are the biggest single influence on how wealth and power rise and decline, if one does not seek knowledge of how money works, one cannot understand the biggest driver of politics within and between countries; hence one cannot understand how the world order works. If one doesn’t understand how the world order works, one can’t understand the post-pandemic debt tsunami that’s coming. I believe that the times ahead will be radically different from the times we have experienced so far in our lifetimes. As one reads this reference book, remember that which I don’t understand will always remain much greater than that which I truly understand. So, whenever information I provide you with and what I think, as I’m writing this book, please realise that I’m but one voice, doing the best I can to openly convey to you my understanding and thinking based upon 20 years of financial systems development and research. In the end of the day it’s up to you to assess for yourself what I’ve learned and do what you like with it. The digital revolution post-pandemic will lead to a radical departure from the traditional model of monetary exchange. The creation of a Digital Financial Market Infrastructure will underpin the unbundling and re-bundling of the functions of money within society. Although digital money itself is not new to modern economies, digital legal tender (DLT) facilitates instantaneous peer-to-peer transfers of value in a way that today is impossible. The importance of digital connectedness, will often supersede the importance of macroeconomic links, and lead to the establishment of “Digital Financial Markets” linking the currency to membership of a particular financial market rather than to a specific country. Capitalism underpins wealth generation and hence the existence of a digital financial market. Capitalism is an economic system in which private individuals or corporations own and control the flow of capital throughout society. Capitalism is built on the idea that compensation and profits derived from capital allocations reflect the relative contribution an individual or firm makes from the utilisation of capital to the total wealth of a society. The genius of capitalism lies in its ability to produce organic answers to most problems of scarcity and resource allocation. Markets tend naturally to reward the ideas that prove most useful, and to penalize dysfunctional behaviour. They can bring about broad-based outcomes that states cannot, by driving vast numbers of individuals to adjust their behaviour in response to price signals. Capital is the defining feature of modern economies that transforms mere wealth into an asset that creates more wealth. Capital is the lifeblood of capitalist societies, yet capital unequal distribution throughout the community codifies the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else. This book seeks to rewire the global Financial Markets Infrastructures, to support a more equitable access to capital, and ensure its convertibility into a nation-state, central bank-issued digital fiat cash or legal tender. Additionally, the universal World Currency Unit is defined to support the global transfer of value between any two people on the planet today, without the need for any financial service providers or intermediaries. Universal access to capital which is readily convertible to globally trusted units of account combined with a censorship-resistant means of payment underpins global trade, will improve market access for both holders of low per-unit value intellectual property rights, producers, and consumers in developing and developed countries. The described Global Financial Market Infrastructure technologies are aligned with the relevant CPSS-IOSCO Principles for financial market infrastructures and hence operate entirely within the relevant national laws and regulations without change. The Vision, is a Borderless Global Market, underpinning universal wealth creation, which never closes…
