Summary

Today, the real economy has become completely divorced from the financial market. The market itself, flooded with money and protected from failure by Central Banks, has selfishly boomed. But in the real economy, commercial banks have effectively pulled up the drawbridge on their traditional banking activities, including lending to consumers and SMEs, with devastating social consequences.
Fintech is rapidly emerging to fill this gap. Fintech lending platforms, Blockchain, DLTs, Advanced AI analytics and automation are converging to create new capabilities and transform financial services. Embedded finance is already allowing businesses to manage and sell innovative products, seamlessly integrating creative forms of payment, debit, credit, insurance and investment into their end-user experience, while tokenisation on the blockchain allows for the conversion of real-world-assets into digital tokens, democratising wealth creation and management.
In The Future of Finance, Francesco Filia and Daniele Guerini share their extensive experience in the world of fintech and take the reader on a journey to discover how this revolution is changing the future of finance forever.

    The Shocking Truth about Travel...

    Travel agencies have long been the go-to resource for travelers looking to plan vacations, book flights, and secure accommodations. For decades, they were considered indispensable, offering expertise, exclusive deals, and the convenience of handling complex itineraries. However, the travel industry has changed dramatically in recent years, raising important questions about the true role and value of travel agencies in today's digital world. Are they still as necessary as they once were, or have they become an outdated service in an era where online booking platforms dominate?  
  
The evolution of travel agencies has been shaped by technological advancements and shifting consumer behaviors. In the past, travel agents had access to deals and insider information that the average traveler couldn’t easily obtain. They built relationships with airlines, hotels, and tour operators, often securing discounts and exclusive packages. But with the rise of online booking sites, budget-conscious travelers can now compare prices, read customer reviews, and make their own reservations without relying on a middleman.  
  
Despite these changes, travel agencies still claim to offer value in various ways. Many agencies promote themselves as experts who can save travelers time and money by curating customized experiences, navigating travel restrictions, and resolving unexpected issues. Some travelers, especially those booking luxury vacations, business trips, or complex international itineraries, still prefer the convenience of working with an agent rather than handling everything themselves. However, beneath this polished image lies an industry that often thrives on hidden fees, inflated prices, and partnerships that may not always prioritize the best interests of the traveler.
