In their new book "Redefining the Future of the Economy: Governance Blocks & Economic Architecture," Co-Authors Dawn Talbot & Ralph Benko say the blockchain industry has failed to live up to its promise because it cannot reflect complex decision processes. They propose a mathematical framework for automated decision making meeting fiduciary standards. Without this approach, they warn that the US could become a second-rate technology power dominated either by coders with wild-west mentalities or by China’s investment in blockchain, which they call this generation’s sputnik moment.
