The Heretic’s Guide to Global Finance: Hacking the Future of Money offers the reader a framework for approaching the financial system based on anthropology, gonzo exploration, the hacker ethos, DIY culture, activist entrepreneurialism, drag queens, rogue magicians, guerilla gardening, dolphins, open source culture, network disruption, circuitbending, and you.
Part 1 (Exploring) covers the major financial players, concepts & instruments. Part 2 (Jamming) explores innovative forms of financial activism, from disrupting investment into fossil fuels to building your own hedge funds of dissent. Part 3 (Building) showcases the growing alternative finance movement – including peer-to-peer systems, alternative currencies, and co-operative economies – and shows how ordinary individuals can get involved in building a democratic financial system. It is being published by the fantastic Pluto Press, and you can find out how to order below. For more about me, see here.
