Sinopse

What is money really? Where does its power come from? And what does its future hold?“History of Money” is a fascinating and rigorous journey through the evolution of one of the most influential tools in human history. From the shells used in early tribal communities to the digital currencies of the 21st century, this essay explores the cultural, economic, political, and ethical transformations that have shaped money, showing how each form of currency reflects a specific worldview.Organized into 20 thematic chapters, the book interweaves historical analysis, philosophical reflections, concrete examples, and future scenarios, guiding the reader through a narrative that is at once informative, profound, and accessible. Key milestones are explored: the invention of metal money, the birth of banks, the debt economy, cryptocurrencies, ethical finance, social currencies, and the emerging concept of the relationship economy.But this book is not just a story of the past: it is also a call to rethink money today. It asks us what values it conveys, what dynamics it obeys, and what possibilities it can open up for us. It is a work that challenges the reader to imagine a new monetary paradigm that is more equitable, sustainable, and humane.“The History of Money” is a book for anyone who wants to better understand how the world works—and how it could work differently.

    Internet governance refers to the development and application of rules, policies, and practices that shape the evolution and use of the internet. It involves multiple stakeholders, including governments, private sector entities, civil society organizations, and technical communities. As the internet has grown from an academic experiment to a global infrastructure, the need for effective governance has become increasingly crucial. The way the internet is managed impacts digital rights, economic development, and global security, making governance a central issue in today’s interconnected world. 
    The origins of internet governance can be traced back to the early days of the internet, when management was primarily handled by academic and research institutions. Over time, as commercial interests and governmental involvement increased, governance structures evolved to accommodate new challenges. Organizations like the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) were established to facilitate discussions on technical coordination, policy-making, and regulation. The involvement of international bodies such as the United Nations further highlights the growing importance of internet governance in global affairs. 
    A fundamental aspect of internet governance is the balance between different stakeholder interests. Governments seek to regulate the internet to ensure national security, protect citizens' rights, and maintain economic stability. Meanwhile, private companies advocate for minimal regulation to encourage innovation and market growth. Civil society organizations focus on issues such as privacy, digital rights, and access to information. This multistakeholder model aims to create a collaborative and inclusive approach to governance, but it also presents challenges in reaching consensus on key issues.

    Adam Smith, often hailed as the father of modern economics, revolutionized the field with his pioneering ideas in the 18th century. His significance lies in his formulation of the foundational principles of classical economics, particularly through his seminal works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. 
    In The Wealth of Nations, Smith introduced the concept of the "invisible hand," a metaphor for the self-regulating nature of free markets. He argued that individuals pursuing their self-interest unintentionally contribute to the economic well-being of society, as if guided by an invisible hand. This idea challenged the prevailing mercantilist views of the time, advocating instead for free trade and minimal government intervention in economic affairs. 
    Smith's exploration of the division of labor highlighted how productivity and efficiency could be vastly improved when tasks are specialized. This principle not only influenced economic theory but also had a profound impact on industrial practices and economic policy.
