                  Lecture - What the history of money tells us about its present and future. Is Bitcoin the end of history for money? - James Dewar (1987)1.30pm: We all know what money is, right? As CJ from 'The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin' might have said "I didn't get where I am today without knowing what money was". If your presenter were an accountant who spent 20 years working in Financial Services had realised at the age of 51 that he didn't know what money was, then it might be interesting to come and listen to what he discovered. This talk will cover the emergence of money and two theories of how and why this happened, the properties and uses of money that we can deduce from its history, the arc of its evolution into what we call money today and why a few people made it their life's work from the 1970s onwards to develop the maths and computer science which eventually culminated in the birth of Bitcoin on 3 January 2009. The talk ends by considering whether Bitcoin might be the end of history for money, noting that the framing of the question is somewhat inspired by Francis Fukuyama.
