ABOUT

Blockchain will transform the Web, labor, finance, and governance.  Exactly how is still early in playing out.  Will ideals of decentralization, and greater agency and equality of some green crypto projects, help to counter IT-amplified systemic inequality and algorithmic biases?  How will policies and regs on the creation, maintenance, and use of blockchain, crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum), smart contracts, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT), and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) impact social/ethical possibilities? Offering a Blockchain and Society essays blog, annotated bibs, (best crypto books and top social equity books), and a crypto timeline, the site contributes to blockchain studies, crypto studies, and Web3 studies.

MISSION: Blockchain and Society: Political Economy of Crypto seeks to inform visions of the future through prisms of the past. It has a crypto long-form essays Blog; annotated booklists; Crypto Historical Timeline; Blockchain Historical Timeline; and glossary. It promotes critical inquiry on decentralized governance, privacy, gender, race, & ethics.
