Electronic Money: The Travelogue

Unlike the case for my ancestors, who crossed land and sea to preach Mormonism without purse or scrip, traveling the world to urge the abolition of the zero lower bound has not been a personal hardship for me. On the contrary, it has been a very pleasant experience, both because of the people I have met and the cities I have been able to see.
I have been especially lucky to have my wife Gail travel with me on many of my journeys. In her own blog, Gail has documented many of the journeys we have taken together. Below, I copied over the list from “Electronic Money: The Powerpoint File” of places I have given my presentation “Breaking Through the Zero Lower Bound,” with links to Gail’s posts on the relevant cities for which she has written a post. I plan to keep the list below update as we continue our travels and as Gail has a chance to write more posts.

For those of you interested in the Economics of Happiness, I put in bold the cities where I gave my presentation on “Utility and Happiness” (related to work I write about on my happiness sub-blog):
