has the Death of Money Been Greatly exaggerated? Joel Kurtzman Interview RU SIRIUS I n 1994, Joel Kurtzman — at that time a columnist and the business editor for the new York Times — wrote an alarming book titled The Death of Money: how the electronic economy has Destabilized the World's Market and Created Financial Chaos. Kurtzman reported that the digitization, or virtualization, of capital was causing a disconnect from reality that threatened financial anarchy…with possible positive and/or negative results. given the current market crisis, I thought I'd catch up with Kurtzman. Does he believe that recent events reflect the changes he warned us about back in the mid-'90s? Is money drawing its last breath while you withdraw the last of your savings? or is something else afoot? Joel Kurtzman is currently executive Director of the Milken Institute's SAVe program, focusing on energy security, climate change and alternative energy. 42 Feb 2009
