DAVID R. WARWICK is an investor, researcher, and writer living in Santa Rosa, CA.

Book Synopsis

A provocative critique of America's cash money system and a powerful argument for replacing it with a cashless new system of federal electronic currency.

Booknews

A lawyer turned investor and entrepreneur, Warwick argues that the private sector is not moving fast enough toward an all- electronic economy and so the US government must take the lead by replacing its paper and metal with federal electronic currency. The cost reductions he sees include reduced crime and not having to print and mint money. He also discusses such matters as privacy, security, and convenience.
