The Blockchain and the New Architecture of Trust
by Kevin Werbach, 2018

I’ve incorporated some of the ideas of this book into my lecture on trust in supply chain networks in my Operations Strategy class. I introduce blockchain as a vehicle for trust and shared truth before discussing the potential for smart contracts to handle many simple business interactions. The book is well-researched and written. I found the first-half, focused on trust problems and blockchain capabilities, to be more interesting and relevant for me than the second-half, which mainly focused on legal and governance issues.
