Book description
Imagine hearing this book as a late-night podcast that drops a truth bomb about your wallet. That's "Smart Money" on audiobook-a clear, urgent guide to the financial battle you're already living through. As Vince Cable called it, "excellent," and Bill Dudley says "fascinating," this isn't just about digital cash; it's about who controls the future of global power. Brunello Rosa cuts through the noise: the U.S. dollar's reign is ending, and China's digital yuan is the weapon reshaping the world. You'll hear how China's 2022 digital yuan launch, paired with Xi's "limitless co-operation" with Russia, let Moscow bypass Western sanctions within days of invading Ukraine. That's not theory-it's happening now. The West fixated on China's surveillance fears, missing the bigger threat: a global "de-dollarisation" happening at lightning speed. Over 100 countries are building Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and Rosa shows why this isn't just tech-it's a new Cold War, where the front line is your bank account. The audiobook's pacing is perfect for this: the narrator's calm urgency makes complex shifts feel immediate, like a trusted friend explaining why your next paycheck might not be in dollars. Rosa doesn't just warn; he demands action. If liberal democracies want to compete, we need digital currencies reflecting our values, not just copying China's system. This isn't a dry economics lecture-it's a wake-up call for everyone who uses a phone to pay. You'll hear the stakes in every chapter: how CBDCs could redefine trade, sanctions, and even national security. And the best part? You don't need a finance degree. Rosa makes the global chessboard feel personal, like you're sitting in the room where the next decade's deals are being made. As Jo Johnson insists, it's a "must read"-and on audio, it's impossible to ignore. Don't just hear about the future of money; feel it in your bones. This is the audiobook that turns "What's next?" into "Now."
