About
Money is becoming software. And software follows instructions.
In The New Money Order, entrepreneur and researcher Aaron J. Rafferty maps the collision of two technological revolutions, programmable money and artificial intelligence, and shows business leaders exactly how this convergence is already reshaping real estate, financial services, philanthropy, the creator economy, and every industry that moves value from one place to another.
This is not theory. Rafferty built the systems he writes about. He co-founded a media company reaching over a million subscribers, launched an AI venture studio generating real revenue, and created the EAT token, a "cause coin" that has funded nearly 10,000 meals through ordinary trading activity, not donations. His stories from the inside, from watching a Filipino contractor wait three days for a wire transfer to launching a token on a WeWork whiteboard in Irvine, ground every concept in lived experience.
Rafferty draws on Ray Dalio's 150-year geopolitical cycles and Carlotta Perez's framework for technological revolutions to show why the post-1945 monetary order is ending at the exact moment programmable infrastructure is ready to replace it. He traces the arc from the secret meeting at Jekyll Island in 1910, where seven men designed the Federal Reserve, to today's open-source protocols being built in state legislatures and on GitHub.
Across 15 chapters and more than 60 original figures, diagrams, and frameworks, the book equips readers with practical tools: a 30-second diagnostic that classifies any business system as "old order" or "new order," an energy theory of value that reveals hidden profit in every transaction, and an enterprise playbook with industry-specific moves for real estate brokers, nonprofit directors, freelancers, and operators of every kind.
BlackRock tokenizing treasury bonds. JPMorgan issuing programmable deposits. Wyoming granting legal standing to decentralized organizations. AI agents that need wallets, not bank accounts. The signals are everywhere. The New Money Order gives you the framework to read them, and the playbook to act on Monday morning.
