Drawing on economic history and the mechanics of monetary systems,\n    the book explains how gold, national currencies, bank money, and digital currencies\n    relate to one another in a hierarchical structure.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The authors, Nik Bhatia and others, trace how money has evolved from gold to modern\n    credit-based monetary systems, showing that each new form of money does not fully\n    replace its predecessors but instead adds a new layer on top of existing ones.\n    This layered framework helps readers to understand how Bitcoin fits into the broader\n    monetary ecosystem—not as an isolated anomaly, but as part of a dynamic ladder of\n    monetary evolution.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Through clear explanations and historical examples, the book illustrates why the\n    monetary system is hierarchical and how different assets serve as money at different\n    scales of value and time. It also analyzes how central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)\n    may affect the structure of money in the future, and what implications these changes\n    hold for individuals, institutions, and global markets.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    For anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of monetary history, sophisticated\n    money mechanics, and the role of Bitcoin in the evolving global monetary order,\n    \u003cem\u003eLayered Money\u003c\/em\u003e offers an accessible yet rigorous exploration of money’s layers.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eLayered Money: From Gold and Dollars to Bitcoin and Central Bank Digital Currencies\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eNik Bhatia\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eWiley (or Konsensus Network)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eNovember 12, 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e1736110527\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e978-1736110528\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Konsensus Network","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52742380093776,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/5359\/5216\/files\/Layered_Money_Nik_Bhatia.jpg?v=1772134962","url":"https:\/\/pleb.style\/products\/layered-money-1","provider":"Plebstyle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
