The Monkey and the Money – The Value of Trust – Part I
Trusting the word of someone you know well, a family member or a close friend, is easy. Trusting someone you know is not. But somehow, we have managed to create simple yet genius technologies for this. We have traded since the dawn of our species. The oldest written text ever found was a bad review on low grade copper addressed to Ea-Nasir. The Phoenician traders invented the first simplified written language to be able to communicate around the Mediterranean. But there is one lingua franca that often speaks louder than words, money.
In this seminar we aim to gather interdisciplinary perspectives on the history of currency and finance, and how they establish trust in co-operation. How we formed proxies of trust and how they formed us. From early coinage and old trade networks, to banks and multi-national conglomerates, and financial institutions and fintech. How value today is integrated in processes and expectations, and how trade and means of payment changes with new digital technologies.
