This article studies online shopping and e‐commerce adoption in Jordan due to the significant growth of this industry in Jordan particularly and the rest of the world generally, which is receiving attention globally and has proven to largely contribute to the growth of nations' economies. This article specifically studies the risk that online users perceive from online shopping and how they affect the growth of this industry. This study adopts a quantitative research approach, with a total of 355 questionnaires distributed by the researchers, to determine whether perceived risks of online shopping have an effect on a number of user adoptions. The article studies the two main risks of online shopping, payment risk, and product risk. Payment risks are defined as the financial loss which included risks associated with using credit cards and identity theft. Product risk is described as the loss incurred when a product does not perform as expected or does not match what was shown and described online. The study concludes that perceived payment risk and product risk affect online shopping negatively and has negatively impacted the number of users adopting this phenomenon.

The paper investigates how the role of the British currency has been changing within the international monetary system. This article is focused on sorting out why the world financial dominance of the United Kingdom was undermined and when exactly the dollar took over as the leading international currency. This question arises, because some authors, using evidence from the bond markets, state that the US dollar overtook sterling much earlier than in 1945, namely in 1929, while others adhere to another common opinion. Our study uses the quantitative research approach to examine the hypothesis questions. The null hypothesis states that the sterling lost its financial dominance before the World War II, while our alternative hypothesis claims that the dominance was lost after the same war.
