Tap-and-pay is easy; the fees, delays, and data trails aren't. CBDC: A Digital Age explains how public digital cash can make everyday money faster, cheaper, and more private. But first we need to build it right. Handsome King maps the essentials: what a CBDC is (and isn't), lessons from real pilots, privacy by design, offline resilience, and a responsible rollout that's optional, transparent, and accountable. Clear examples show instant refunds, cheaper remittances, and lower costs for small businesses, alongside hard limits on surveillance and control. Practical, optimistic, and ethics-forward, this book gives you the questions to ask and the safeguards to demand.
