Cash is a means of payment that seems increasingly obsolete at a time when electronic payment is made without contact, even with your phone or connected watch. Expensive, impractical, likely to foster the underground economy… cash seems to suffer from all evils. So, let’s dare to ask the question: is it time to eliminate cash?
In this sixth episode of our series For and against, Julien Pillot, teacher-researcher in economics at Inseec Grande École (OMNES Education group), details what research says about this question. It’s up to you to make up your own mind.
