"The author brings an interesting perspective on the origin of states and the factors that have influenced their origin within political theories and philosophy. This sheds light on issues of sovereignty and authority and questions the definition of ‘nation’ in the context of an evolving social contract." Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, Former President of Mauritius

"This book covers the evolution of economy, financial systems and technology with an attempt to find an answer for creating an equitable world. In this very engaging book, Ugochukwu Ikpeazu with his deep understanding of financial and digital systems, presents an alternative approach for capturing economic value for social development." Raghunath Mandava, Independent Consultant and Former CEO of Airtel Africa

"From Saint Augustine to Einstein, the concept of time and its definition has been extremely difficult to capture. This very provocative and interesting book by Ugochukwu Ikpeazu – based on the contribution of many disciplines - tries to monetize the concept of time, in order to address some of the issues of labour today and also, if possible, contribute to a more just and inclusive economy. This is certainly a very stimulating attempt that deserves serious consideration." José Manuel Barroso, Chair of the Board of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, Former President of the European Commission and Former Prime Minister of Portugal
