Gottfried Leibbrandt and Natasha De Teran have achieved what I thought was impossible， they wrote an engaging， yet highly informative book on payments。 In their own words， payments are one of the most critical aspects of money which is not very well understood。 The customers usually notice it when something goes wrong， but the financial pipelines are a critical （inter）national infrastructure。The book consists of a series of brief chapters， each focusing on a different aspect of payments。 The aut Gottfried Leibbrandt and Natasha De Teran have achieved what I thought was impossible， they wrote an engaging， yet highly informative book on payments。 In their own words， payments are one of the most critical aspects of money which is not very well understood。 The customers usually notice it when something goes wrong， but the financial pipelines are a critical （inter）national infrastructure。The book consists of a series of brief chapters， each focusing on a different aspect of payments。 The authors take us through the history of payments， business models， innovations， regulations， geopolitics of payments and things to come （crypto and CBDC）。 It’s written in a journalistic style which makes it very readable but I would like to see more footnotes and references。 There were some cringeworthy weasel words （‘research’） which required references but overall it was a time well-spent。 Highly recommended。 。。。more
