33 Perspectives on the future of cash from a political economic and philosophical viewpoint
Over the past 20 years euro cash has become a tangible symbol of economic integration and
cohesion in Europe. It stands for stability and trust especially in times of crisis. However
a look ahead at what the future holds for Europe's single currency suggests there are some
specific challenges looming. For example the new forms of payment and so-called
cryptocurrencies that the digital turn has ushered in have cast fundamental doubt on the status
of cash and government-issued currencies. The authors of this book provide a nuanced overview
of the topic by looking at multiple aspects of money and currency from different angles. This
affords a new sense of perspective in the often vehement debate over the future of our money.
