Cloudmoney : why the war on cash endangers our freedom / Brett Scott.

Who really benefits from a cashless society? Many of us rarely use cash these days. And the reach of corporations into our lives via cards and apps has never been greater. But what we're told is inevitable is actually the work of powerful interests: the great battle of our time is for ownership of the digital footprints that make up our lives. 'Cloudmoney' tells a revelatory story the fusion of big finance and tech, which requires physical cash to be replaced by digital money or 'cloudmoney'. Diving beneath the surface of the global financial system, Brett Scott uncovers a long-established lobbying infrastructure waging a covert war on cash under the banner of progress but at the cost of our privacy, politics and individual freedom.

Cloudmoney / Brett Scott.

We are often told that the move towards a cashless society is 'natural progress', but there is seldom reference to the powerful groups that are vigorously pushing for it. What happens when physical money is replaced completely by digital transactions? In the great battle for global monopolization, different 'watchers' are trying to capture and hoard data. Google has search patterns revealing your desires, fetishes and intellectual interests. Facebook has a treasure trove of its users' special moments and projections of vanity. Yet, if we really want to see what a person is motivated to act upon in society, we should examine their payments data. In 'Cloudmoney', Brett Scott uncovers a long-established lobbying infrastructure set up by an alliance of partners, including financial institutions, governments and international agencies, to wage a covert cold war against cash.

Bezonomics : how Amazon is changing our lives and what the world's best companies are learning from it / Brian Dumaine.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is the new disruptor on the block. He has created a 21st century algorithm for business and societal disruption. He has turned the retail industry inside out, is swiftly dominating cloud computing, media and advertising, and now has his sights trained on every other domain where money changes hands and business is transacted. But the principles by which Bezos has achieved his dominance - customer obsession, extreme innovation and long-term management, all supported by artificial intelligence turning a virtuous-cycle 'flywheel' - are now being borrowed and replicated. In this book, Brian Dumaine answers the fundamental question: how are Amazon and its imitators affecting the way we live, and what can we learn from them?

Retail therapy : why the retail industry is broken - and what can be done to fix it / Mark Pilkington.

Almost weekly, the news is full of stories about disappearing retail chains - some of which have been around for decades. From BHS and Maplin in the UK, to Toys'R'Us, Aeropostale and A&P in the US, recognised names are vanishing overnight - with the loss of hundreds of stores and thousands of jobs. As such large organizations disappear, so the malls, shopping centres, high streets and main streets become emptier and less appealing to visit. Mark Pilkington argues that, while the decline in manufacturing receives more news attention, the retail sector is more important in terms of job numbers: in the US, it employs around 30 million people; in the UK, around 10 million (not just in selling, but in property, manufacturing, logistics and distribution as well).
