Feng Han made several speeches as the first rotating curator of the China Fund Museum. Starting with the theory of The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, Mr. Han discussed the evolution of human civilization and how it depends on free market transactions. Mr. Han sees large-scale international transactions needing a revolution of human cognition to foster a global wealth consensus. He also briefly described the history of human wealth consensus itself, from trading shells to the current status of encrypted data assets powered by blockchain.
