The present book contains five contributions relating to the introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), i.e., the digital form of state-issued legal tender. It is the by-product of a Colloquium jointly hosted by the Collegium Helveticum (the joint Institute for Advanced Studies of ETH Zurich, the University of Zurich and the Zurich University of the Arts) and the University of Zurich’s Priority Research Program on Financial Market Regulation (URPP FinReg) on 9 May 2023.
The contributions to this book provide an in-depth analysis of the following aspects of CBDCs:

- Central Bank Digital Currencies: Central Bank Money reaches a new frontier (by Chiara Zilioli) and
- The Simple(r) Case for Wholesale Central Bank Digital Currency (by Thomas Moser).
The articles constitute an optimal blend between legal, institutional, and economic aspects on CBDCs by high-quality experts, combining the academic and the central bank perspectives.

In this book, The Fourth Decision, we seek to become maximized, expanding the time horizon for our entrepreneurial dreams to an entire lifetime, realizing that a high percentage of entrepreneurs simply never retire—they just work differently as they age. Having done the work and reaped significant rewards as successful entrepreneurs over the past decade or so, we now turn to What’s Next (?!) for our companies and our own lives.  Maximized entrepreneurs (ME) are those who make a conscious choice to commit proactively to a lifetime career as an ME, determined to top out as the successful and fulfilled architects of their own entrepreneurial lives by strategically aligning every axis of their lives for maximal impact.  The ME fully embraces their drive toward full potential, both for themselves and their organization(s) through a commitment to entrepreneurial and organizational leadership development. Utilizing collaborative and proven decision-making tools I have developed over the past decade, we will move forward together in The Fourth Decision with a new or enhanced application of discipline in both your personal and professional lives ... remembering always that ... you get one entrepreneurial life to live.

'A unique and electric talent – his work is full of technicolour and imagination. I love this author and I love this book.' – Laura Dockrill
From the moment Andrew 'Pop' Morrison, a.k.a Wonderboy, heard the mesmerising beats of a drumkit through a classroom window, he knew he was born to be a drummer.
When Pop and his band hit the big-time, they find themselves on a one-way path to stardom. Enjoying the wild ride, the whole world is soon at his fingertips – and it's addictive. But when his partying lifestyle takes a dramatic downward turn, he is forced out of his comfort zone and back to square one.
Stuck in limbo, the only thing that comforts him is Drewford Alabama's personal diary, which he discovered in the torn silk lining of a thrifted suitcase, one fateful night in a New York hotel suite. Finding Drewford becomes an obsession and a path back to normality. But with only a name and mysterious messages on an empty page, will he ever find him?
