Few people know this but money was invented to keep track of debt. In fact, what most economic textbooks say is that money comes from barter. It turns out there's no single evidence that this ever happened in history! (David Graeber has a phenomenal book call Debt that explains all of this.)
Now, the shift we're seeing is that social credit system--or as I call them Social Debt Systems--are going to be "the new money."
Lots of people talk about the data economy and the fact that we need a way to put a dollar value on information.
And what we're seeing with social credit systems is that that value is not 'on' information. It's 'in' information. And that's creating a new economic logic we're not able even to conceive yet
