Most people never think about the money they use every day. That's a privilege.
For billions of people around the world, inflation, currency collapse, financial surveillance, and government restrictions are not abstract economic concepts—they are daily realities. In Check Your Financial Privilege, human rights advocate Alex Gladstein reveals how access to stable money is one of the greatest inequalities of the modern era and why Bitcoin is becoming an essential tool for freedom, resilience, and human dignity.
Drawing on years of work with activists, journalists, dissidents, and ordinary citizens across the globe, Gladstein tells the stories rarely covered in traditional discussions of economics and finance.
Inside, you'll discover:
• How people living under authoritarian regimes use Bitcoin when traditional banking systems fail them
• Why inflation and currency devaluation disproportionately harm the world's most vulnerable populations
• How financial censorship threatens civil liberties and political freedom
• The relationship between money, human rights, and individual sovereignty
• Real-world examples from countries including Nigeria, Cuba, El Salvador, Zimbabwe, and beyond
• Why Bitcoin's impact extends far beyond investing and speculation
As Chief Strategy Officer of the Human Rights Foundation, Gladstein offers a unique perspective at the intersection of economics, technology, politics, and human rights. Through compelling stories and accessible analysis, he demonstrates how monetary systems shape opportunities, freedoms, and outcomes for billions of people.
Whether you're interested in global affairs, economic justice, political freedom, emerging technologies, or the future of money, Check Your Financial Privilege challenges conventional assumptions and presents a powerful case for understanding Bitcoin through a humanitarian lens.
