295 pages. One of the best books in 2018 on the Blockchain topic, according to the French press. A technological revolution, an economic and societal phenomenon… Blockchain has become a familiar term to all in only a few short years: it has become a central theme permeating all economic life and represents the promise of a future transformed. Both loved and loathed, it remains misunderstood because of its complex and distinctive nature; yet mastering this innovative technology is now essential to understanding the new rules of the global economy. That is the aim of this book. Blockchain is too often limited to questions of trust and decentralisation, but this book covers all aspects of the technology using a pluridisciplinary approach: described in its historical context; detailed from a technical perspective in a comprehensible way; analysed considering its economic and financial applications; examined from a philosophical standpoint to understand its singular nature. The authors explain a revolution that they consider to be on the same scale as that of the internet. They provide the key to understanding and leveraging this new technological, economic and social phenomenon. Block by block.
