Norbert Häring: We Pay with Freedom

In our payment world, a war against cash is raging. It is about commercial interests and the technology-driven business models of Mastercard, Microsoft, Apple, and others. And it is about the freedom of the individual. Economic expert Norbert Häring demonstrates how an alliance of large technology and financial corporations, wealthy foundations, governments, and organizations is building a comprehensive system of digital financial surveillance and control: We are on the path to a (contract-free) pay-as-you-go system that makes active payment unnecessary through facial recognition and fingerprints, paving the way for a global currency. Those who read Häring's book will understand why this is not a promise.
