Critics Review
“Awrey reframes Gresham’s Law for the technological age. In its original formulation, Gresham’s Law notes that good and bad money cannot circulate together… . For now, non-bank consumer money remains a small part of the picture. But as it proliferates, risks will emerge.

“This recommended book … aptly contributes to the conversation about revising the policies that financial institutions and services must follow.” * Library Journal *
“Excellent… . [Beyond Banks] is clearly written, and covers a lot of legal, economic, historical and technological ground in a style accessible to the general reader, and informative to those with greater expertise.”—Richard Urwin, Society of Professional Economists
