About Lydian Journal
The Lydian Journal from PYMNTS.com publishes articles from thought leaders on one of the most important industries in the world. It’s an industry that makes trade, the source of almost all economic prosperity, possible. That will seem like an outrageous claim to some people. Making and receiving payments is so routine and trivial that most take it for granted. But flash back three millennia to the days when a lot of effort went into buying a chicken. Our ancestors had to figure out what they could offer the chicken owner in trade. Maybe a shirt or a clay pot, or as trading became more sophisticated, a slug of some precious metal.

If you are a payments professional or a policymaker concerned with this critical industry, the Lydian Journal is the place to come for cutting-edge knowledge and commentary produced by the best thinkers from around the globe. If you are one of these thinkers, this a common place for you to present your analysis and exchange ideas with other experts from diverse disciplines and geographies who are also interested in payments, as well as to make you and your work known to the broader payments community.
