Tokenomics and Digital Platforms

Explores some of the key tenants of distributed ledger technology.

Markets

Introduces important dynamics of both centralized (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).

Privacy

Describes the cryptographic primitives that enable safe, blockchain-based digital transactions, perhaps the most critical infrastructure for global adoption of Web3.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)

Highlights benefits but also risks and boundaries of the emerging new form of organization.

Introduction to Each Part

Each part is introduced in a short chapter to set the stage, followed by the contributions of selected scholars. The chapters explain not only what the phenomenon in question is, but also what the associated opportunities and risks are. They highlight what practitioners can do with the insight their research provides.

Chapter Characteristics

All chapters are short, easy-to-read, and tailored to the practitioners who need to understand these topics but whose busy schedule doesn’t allow for enough time to read full academic articles to do so.
