Publisher's Synopsis
What happens when a financial innovation bill becomes a blueprint for digital authoritarianism? A GENIUS ACT of Duplicity pulls the mask off the GENIUS Act-Washington's latest gift to oligarchy disguised as a stablecoin modernization law. Beneath the buzzwords of "efficiency," "real-time payments," and "financial inclusion" lies a centralized power grab that rewires the American financial system to benefit Trump-linked entities, sideline states, and eliminate public accountability.
This uncompromising exposé breaks down the full machinery of the GENIUS Act, revealing how it quietly legalizes programmable money controlled by a handful of federally licensed issuers-while exempting those closest to the presidency from conflict-of-interest rules. From the rise of World Liberty Financial to the silent handover of monetary rails to Big Tech, the book details how economic life is being reshaped into a digital enclosure: one where compliance is mandatory, privacy is obsolete, and the poor are punished by code.
Far from neutral infrastructure, the GENIUS Act builds a system where federal regulators, partisan financiers, and surveillance-hungry platforms collude to turn public money into private yield. State-level innovation is crushed. Political dissent is priced out. And the dream of decentralization dies quietly under the weight of algorithmic enforcement and Treasury yield arbitrage.
With a tone that is unsentimental, sharply analytical, and unflinchingly skeptical, A GENIUS ACT of Duplicity is required reading for anyone who still believes that financial systems are political-and that money, once programmable, is no longer free.
