Cryptodemocracy: How Blockchain Can Radically Expand Democratic Choice - Paperback

by Darcy W. E. Allen (Author), Lenore T. Ealy (Editor), Chris Berg (Author)

A cryptodemocracy is cryptographically-secured collective choice infrastructure on which individuals coordinate their voting property rights. Drawing on economic and political theory, a cryptodemocracy is a more fluid and emergent form of collective choice. This book examines these theoretical characteristics before exploring specific applications of a cryptodemocracy in labor bargaining and corporate governance. The analysis of the characteristics of a more emergent and contractual democratic process has implications for a wide range of collective choice.
