Rahn Technology has fast outpaced governments' ability to maintain control of electronic finance. Global financial networks and systems allow any asset whose value is recognized and guaranteed by a reliable financial institution to be instantaneously transferred from one person to another. Private institutions are already developing "digital dollars" that will someday reduce transaction costs and monetary instability, thus leading to greater economic efficiency and higher standards of living. Unfortunately, this new world of digital money is fiercely resisted by many government officials. The full benefits of digital money will not be realized unless people are left free to move their financial assets around the globe in a private fashion. You can purchase this book from CIPE for $22.50--this is a 10% discount off of the list price.
