I'm extremely excited to share my recent conversation with Kevin Werbach, a leading expert on the business, legal, and public policy implications of emerging technologies such as broadband, blockchain, and big data.

In this conversation, I focus on a number of topics he covers in his book: "The Blockchain and the New Architecture of Trust", a reference work for any practitioner in the space. In there, he covers a wide range of issues, divided into 3 chapters: 1) A Revolution In Nine Pages; 2) Ledgers Meet Law; and 3) Building The Decentralized Future. It's a critically important work, and I would recommend it highly to anyone who wants or needs to "dig deeper". So who is Kevin Werbach? Keep reading...

Werbach is Professor of Legal Studies and Business Ethics at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and founder of Supernova Group, a technology consulting and events firm. A longtime thought leader in communications and internet policy, he served on the Obama Administration’s Presidential Transition Team, and later was an expert advisor on broadband issues at both the Federal Communications Commission and the US Department of Commerce. He is a pioneer in emerging fields such as gamification (applying digital game design principles to business), algorithmic accountability, and blockchain governance. With his current focus on the business and legal implications of distributed ledger technology, he heads the Cryptoregulation initiative of the Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research, bringing together regulators, experts, and business leaders from around the world.
Werbach is the author of The Blockchain and the New Architecture of Trust (MIT Press, 2018), co-author of For the Win: How Game Thinking Can Revolutionize Your Business (Wharton School Press, 2012), and editor of After the Digital Tornado: Networks, Algorithms, Humanity (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming 2020). Nearly half a million students worldwide have registered for his top-rated Coursera Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), and he was named Wharton’s first-ever “Iron Prof” for his research.

A sought-after speaker and commentator, Werbach has appeared in print and broadcast media including CNN, PBS NewsHour, CNBC, NPR, ABC News, USA Today, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Financial Times, and The Economist. His writing has appeared in Harvard Business Review, Fortune, Wired, IEEE Spectrum, Harvard Law Review, Cornell Law Review, Berkeley Technology Law Journal, Harvard Journal of Law and Technology, and Slate, among other publications, and he has testified before the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, and FCC.
