Description

From the Roman forum to digital currencies, how has the market developed over the course of history and what might it look like in the future? This anthology takes a deep dive into market development and takes a closer look at the decisive role of markets in shaping the present but also addresses the burning question of how we should navigate towards a sustainable future. In thought-provoking essays written by international researchers, politicians and experts, market dynamics are explored in three critical phases: yesterday, today and tomorrow. Drawing on the squares of ancient Greece and the markets of medieval Europe, the authors examine how technological advances, consumer behavior, and geopolitical strategy, such as the policies of the Reagan era, have shaped contemporary markets. Finally, the book addresses the challenges to market stability posed by, for example, authoritarian states and AI.
