From credit cards to cryptocurrencies, online and mobile money to remittances and demonetization policies, cashless infrastructures are becoming increasingly common around the world. Whos Cashing In? explores how different modes of cashlessness impact, transform and challenge the everyday lives and livelihoods of local communities in multiple regional contexts. Drawing from a wide range of ethnographic studies, this volume offers a concise look at not only how infrastructures of cashlessness are taking shape, but also how social actors and agents are responding to this change in the materiality of money.
