The Crypto Market Ecosystem has emerged as the most profound application of blockchain technology in finance. This textbook adopts an integrated approach, linking traditional functions of the current ...financial system (payments, traded assets, fundraising, regulation) with the respective functions in the crypto market, in order to facilitate the reader in their understanding of how this new ecosystem works.
The book walks the reader through the main features of the blockchain technology, the definitions, classifications, and distinct characteristics of cryptocurrencies and tokens, how these are evaluated, how funds are raised in the cryptocurrency ecosystem (ICOs), and what the main regulatory approaches are. The authors have compiled more than 100 sources from different sub-fields of economics, finance, and regulation to create a coherent textbook that provides the reader with a clear and easily understandable picture of the new world of encrypted finance and its applications.
The book is primarily aimed at business and finance students, who already have an understanding of the basic principles of how the financial system works, but also targets a more general readership, by virtue of its broader scope and engaging and accessible tone.

Financijska kriza iz 2009. godine koja je rezultirala
ekonomskom divergencijom zemalja članica europodručja potaknula je rast
euroskepticizma diljem Europske unije. S očekivanim ulaskom Hrvatske u ...europodručje
ponovno se aktualiziralo pitanje troškova i koristi europskih integracija. Glavni
cilj rada je istražiti euroskepticizam mladih u Hrvatskoj. Istraživanje je
provedeno na uzorku od 405 mladih. Analiza je provedena korištenjem logističke
regresije. Zavisna varijabla u modelu je binomna varijabla koja opisuje odgovor
ispitanika na pitanje podržavaju li ili ne euro kao službenu valutu u
Hrvatskoj. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na to da su značajne odrednice euroskepticizma
mladih u isključivi nacionalni identitet i ekonomska očekivanja. S jedne
strane, ulazak Hrvatske u europodručje dijelom je u suprotnosti s osjećajem privrženosti
vlastitoj državi u kontekstu isključivog nacionalnog identiteta. Drugim
riječima, mladi koji ne smatraju europski identitet dijelom vlastitog
identiteta priklonit će se euroskepticizmu. Druga značajna odrednica
euroskepticizma mladih su ekonomska očekivanja, odnosno njihova procjena prednosti
i nedostataka pridruživanja europodručju. Drugim riječima, mladi formiraju
mišljenje o euru na individualnim i društvenim ekonomskim troškovima eura kao
službene valute, pa će oni koji očekuju više štete nego koristi, biti skloniji
euroskepticizmu. Rezultati istraživanja doprinose boljem razumijevanju
odrednica euroskepticizma mladih u Hrvatskoj te mogu biti poticaj da se dodatno
otvori medijski i društveni prostor za artikulaciju argumenata o koristima, ali
i troškovima budućeg članstva Hrvatske u Ekonomskoj i monetarnoj uniji.
The 2009 financial crisis, which
resulted in the economic divergence of euro area member states, spurred a rise
in Euroscepticism across the European Union. With the expected entry of Croatia
into the euro area, the issue of costs and benefits of European integration has
become relevant again. The main goal of the paper is to investigate the Euroscepticism
of young people in Croatia. The research is conducted on a sample of 405 young
people. The analysis is performed using logistic regression. The dependent
variable in the model is a binomial variable that describes the respondents'
answer to the question of whether or not they support the euro as the official
currency in Croatia. The results of the research indicate that significant
determinants of youth Euroscepticism are the exclusive national identity and
economic expectations. On the one hand, Croatia's accession to the euro area is
in a certain collision with a sense of commitment to one's own state in the
context of exclusive national identity. In other words, young people who do
not see European identity as part of their own identity will be inclined to Euroscepticism. Another important determinant of young people's Euroscepticism
is economic expectations, ie their assessment of the advantages and
disadvantages of joining the euro area. In other words, young people form an
opinion about the euro on the individual and social-economic costs of the euro
as the official currency, so those who expect more harm than good will be more
prone to Euroscepticism. The results of the research contribute to a better
understanding of the determinants of Euroscepticism among young people in
Croatia and can be an incentive to further open the media and social space for
articulating arguments about the benefits and costs of Croatia's future
membership in the Economic and Monetary Union.

Sammendrag I Malawi har nasjonsbygging historisk vært tett knyttet til politikk om moderskap og helse. Basert på feltarbeid i en landsby i det sørøstafrikanske landet, utforsker denne artikkelen ...hvordan beboeres praksiser og diskurser omkring mødrehelse uttrykte erfaringer av ulikhet og håp om endring i en tungt bistandsfinansiert nasjon. Artikkelen analyserer mødrehelse som en potensiell valuta i konteksten av dagens målstyrte globale helse- og utviklings-regime. Ved å bruke Guyers (2004) begreper om performativitet og konvertering, og hennes refortolkning av Bohannans (1955) teorier om sfærer, argumenteres det for at fremføring av mødrehelse, slik det var definert av staten og internasjonale organisasjoner, var en valuta folk håpet at de som landsby kunne bruke til å bytte til seg investeringer som kunne bidra til sosial mobilitet, i en kontekst av global ulikhet. Hvordan dette ble en del av landsbyens sosiale og politiske dynamikk, må forstås i lys av de ulike måtene kvinners kropper og helse har vært knyttet til prosjekter om utvikling og nasjonsbygging historisk. Fra en økonomisk politikk støttet av ideer om afrikansk tradisjon og renessanse, har liberaldemokratiske Malawi basert seg på en nasjonal identitet knyttet til «fattigdom» og tilhørende behov for «fremgang», og kvinners «empowerment» gjennom familieplanlegging og sykehusfødsler.

Details the evolution of the monetary standard from the start of the Federal Reserve through the end of the Greenspan era. The book places that evolution in the context of the intellectual and ...political environment of the time. By understanding the fitful process of replacing a gold standard with a paper money standard, the conduct of monetary policy becomes a series of experiments useful for understanding the fundamental issues concerning money and prices. How did the recurrent monetary instability of the 20th century relate to the economic instability and to the associated political and social turbulence? After the detour in policy represented by FOMC chairmen Arthur Burns and G. William Miller, Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan established the monetary standard originally foreshadowed by William McChesney Martin, who became chairman in 1951. The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve explains in a straightforward way the emergence and nature of the modern, inflation-targeting central bank.
