La maggior parte delle persone ama i contanti: sono immediati, pratici, anonimi. Basta scavare più a fondo, però, per scoprire che i danni sociali provocati dall'uso della moneta cartacea superano di gran lunga questi pregi superficiali. Potrebbe sembrare una questione minore, in un'epoca di grave stagnazione e instabilità economica.
