Announcing the new, 2024 edition of The End of Money and the Future of Civilization, Revised, updated, and expanded

My most recent book, The End of Money and the Future of Civilization, remains as relevant and timely today as it was when first published by Chelsea Green in 2009. Unfortunately, the printed edition has been out of print for the past several years, although the digital Kindle edition remains available from Amazon.com, and there is an active market for used copies. Having recently had the rights reverted to me by my publisher, I have decided to begin publishing a revised, updated, and expanded edition of the book. It will first be published in serial form, as freely downloadable chapters on my website, Medium, and elsewhere. The text of each section will be accompanied by an audio narration by Ken Richings.

What’s Next?

Upon completion of the series, the plan is to compile the various sections into both a print edition and an e-book edition. The various chapters will be edited, some may be deleted and other new chapters added to respond to more recent developments, including the emergence of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, blockchain technology, and smart contracts. That particular chapter will elaborate and expand upon what I’ve already written and published in my articles, Bitcoin, Blockchain, and the end of money as we’ve known it (2022), and Bitcoin, Blockchain Technology, and Crypto-Currency (2016).

The serial publication will not be on a regular schedule but I’ve made it a priority to complete the series in less than a year. If you wish to be alerted as new sections of the book are posted you can follow me at my website, https://beyondmoney.net/, and subscribe to my occasional newsletter at MailChimp. My revised first chapter, My Purpose and My Journey, is almost ready and will be posted sometime during the coming week.

Can’t Wait?

The original edition of the book was greeted with praise from a number of widely respected activists, academics, and entrepreneurs and their comments can be read here. If you do not wish to wait for the new edition to be completed, you can learn the most essential points by reading the original Chelsea Green edition.

Wishing you peace in this time of global turmoil,
Thomas
