Book Description
This book takes us on a journey to understand the blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and their role in economic and political transactions in a simplified manner. The book reviews the nature of block chains from a technical point of view, and most importantly, their impact on some economic and political aspects and many other aspects, especially in the developing world. The authors of the book are far from putting forward theoretical hypotheses, and show their clear keenness to enhance the technical concepts of blockchain with real experiences and case studies from countries such as Kenya, the Philippines, Nigeria, and others. Is blockchain technology a panacea? Can this technology succeed in enhancing transparency and trust? Can cryptocurrency replace the official currency? This is what this book will tell us about.
Gavin Serkin
Gavin Sirkin is the founder of New Markets Media and Intelligence, and a regular guest speaker on emerging markets.
Financial Times review: "Serkin certainly set the standard with Frontier. Written from firsthand experience, it is laced through with the insights of fund managers who invest billions in these markets and is furnished with necessary data to reinforce his observations. Frontier is a must read for investors wanting to find out how valuation in emerging markets really works.Gavin Serkin has been writing about developing economies for the best part of two decades as the Editor of Portfolio International magazine and more recently as the head of the emerging markets international desk at Bloomberg News in London.
His work keeps him in touch with some of the biggest investors and world leaders, chairing conference panels on issues from African development and Chinese growth to Islamic finance.
Gavin led Bloomberg's coverage of the credit and derivatives markets from 2004 to 2008, winning the Society of American Business Editors & Writers' Best in Business Award and the Society of Professional Journalists' Deadline Club Award.
