Everyone likes money. Yet few understand what money is or what the implications of governments' eliminating hard currency and making money completely digital would be. Thanks to credit cards, PayPal, online bill paying and other developments, cash is becoming increasingly passé. Wired editor David Wolman examines all aspects of money to explain why physical currency may be a concept whose time has passed. Though the end of cash may not seem likely at present, getAbstract recommends his take on electronic currency to all those who seek a better understanding of the future direction of money.
