Digital Cash, Privacy, and Government Surveillance
Articles by J. Orlin Grabbe 1947-2008
Writer, Economist, International Finance Expert, Investigative Journalist,
Cryptographer, Mathematician, Independent Thinker and Sovereign Individual

My professional background is in international finance, and my textbook International Financial Markets, 3rd Edition is still the leading text in international finance at an MBA level. Copies are found in central banks around the world, and it is widely used in bank training programs and at leading universities--including the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where I taught, and Harvard, where I got my Ph.D. in economics. When the first edition appeared in 1986, it was revolutionary for its attention to markets and for its careful analysis of derivative products.
