RE: On the decline of cash payments and the rise of surveillance capitalism....

in LeoFinance2 years ago (edited)

Germany is well-known for reliance on cash. This partly a result of the conservative German mindset but also the German aversion to what seems like overt surveillance. Germans lived under totalitarianism in the West until 1945 and in the East until 1990. Even Google Maps Street View has fewer areas covered in detail in Germany. Germans like privacy.
