Summary of Brett Scott's Cloudmoney

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The taller your building is, the less down-to-earth a mindset you must have. The architecture of these skyscrapers echoes our relationship with high finance, as most people stand beneath them, on the outside looking up.

#2 Bankers are rarely in control of their own institutions, and are often channelling a logic that transcends them. The suits they wear are like protective uniforms, and the toilet is the only place where they might reveal a chink in that armor.

#3 The global finance corporation community is like a dense nerve centre for a multi-layered empire of money and promises for money communicated via fibre optic cables under seabeds and routed via offshore centres.

#4 The global monetary systems are interconnected networks that spread to the farthest reaches of the planet. They are embedded in us, and reach the dustiest small town. Everything in the final analysis is derived from our ecological systems, without which we would die.
