Rogue Money and the Underground Economy: An Encyclopedia of Alternative and Cryptocurrencies

This easy-to-use guide covers the history, development, and current workings of cybercurrencies and the underground economy, both in the United States and around the world.

The world of cybercurrency has experienced explosive growth in recent years, but that expansion has been accompanied by numerous controversies and misunderstandings about what it is, how it works, and how it relates to the underground economy and illegal activities such as money laundering, tax evasion, and human trafficking.

Many illegal or malicious activities are paid for with cyber currencies. This book covers those applications. But cyber currencies also have many legitimate, constructive applications, all of which are explained in Rogue Money in clear, plain English, without embellishment or exaggeration.

An authoritative and thought-provoking reference for readers seeking a greater understanding of all aspects of alternative cybercurrencies, this encyclopedia includes entries on economic history, international trade, current controversies, and its impact on the wider underground economy. It peels back the layers of jargon and obfuscation, giving each topic individual attention to show how it works and contributes to the whole.

Desafiando la Pendiente

¿Por qué Haití es tan pobre? ¿Por qué los panameños tienen una zona franca en el peor lugar de su geografía? ¿Por qué la revolución sandinista apuesta a mejorar su balanza comercial exportando clavos? ¿Por qué la Argentina culta y creativa ha renunciado voluntariamente a tener un sistema financiero operativo?

Para Edmunds, la historia reciente de América Latina, que él ha vivido en primera persona, es una mezcla de grandes apuestas, esperanzas traicionadas y un eterno retorno. Está en Costa Rica cuando la banca colapsa, en Buenos Aires después del corralito, en un Perú que despega, en Madrid durante la movida, en México después del tequilazo y en Chile, antes y después de la crisis asiática. Asiste al despliegue de lujo y desaprensión de la élite venezolana, a la siesta financiera e institucional en República Dominicana y a la crisis del éxito en Chile, con su correlato irónico de estabilidad económica e insatisfacción social.

Wealth by Association: Global Prosperity through Market Unification
European monetary unification has produced a $15 trillion windfall to its member nations that is rarely discussed or accounted for in analyses of economic integration. Edmunds and Marthinsen argue that the reduction in cross-border risks–foreign exchange uncertainty, inflation differentials, competitive devaluations, and protectionism in financial services, among other–is directly responsible for an explosion in the value of fixed income assets and share prices. They explain how this wealth accumulation began to accrue even before the Euro was formally adopted. Could the same thing happen in Latin America or Asia?

The Wealthy World: The Growth and Implications of Global Prosperity
The rapid and increasing accumulation of worldwide wealth set in motion in the 1990s continues its upward climb in the new millennium. The potential for world wealth creation may be as high as $500 trillion or $100,000 for each person on the planet. Aside from the obvious rewards and controversies behind such an economic surge lies its intriguing capacity to touch every aspect of economic development and exchange. Written with a global perspective by an author with extensive international finance experience, The Wealthy World explains the reasons for this increase in wealth and why it will continue. Edmunds explores how much wealth will be created, what it will be based on–and who will have it. Also examined are the implications of growing wealth in a world whose financial systems are becoming ever more unified, the consequences both to economies and populations, and the inevitable injustices that lie in its wake. From the effect of this growth at a time of rising global technology and interconnectivity, to its challenges to our very laws of physics, averages, and fairness, to an illuminating examination of why poverty prevails in some parts of the world despite resources for prosperity, The Wealthy World provides invaluable insights into life in the approaching world economy.

Brave New Wealthy World: Winning the Struggle for Global Prosperity
In Brave New Wealthy World, leading capital markets expert John C. Edmunds argues that global economic conditions are improving, and that the benefits of economic growth will reach virtually everyone on earth–including billions who have been left behind until now. Edmunds identifies the key mechanisms that will deliver these benefits: the modernization of defective national financial systems, and securitization: the transformation of illiquid assets into securities that can be traded at will amongst investors anywhere on Earth. He also projects significant improvements in services-based job creation linked to changing population trends, as well as enhanced rates of return on cross-border investment in emerging markets. Edmunds describes viable new structures for investment in poor countries, and proposes a new symbiotic relationship between rich and poor countries that offers powerful benefits to both. While he doesn’t expect wealth disparities or boom/bust cycles to disappear, he demonstrates that today’s international financial arrangements are delivering unprecedented prosperity and well-being–and spreading their benefits far more widely than critics ever thought possible.
