Episode #245: Paul Vigna

from A Song Called Life · host Osi Atikpoh

In Episode #245, author and journalist Paul Vigna joins Osi to explore the world’s most widely practiced religion: Money. If money is not truly “real” but only functions because we believe in it, why have we allowed it to govern nearly every aspect of our lives? What happens when that belief falters and trust in the system breaks down? And why did ancient societies embrace debt forgiveness through jubilees, while modern ones resist it? Paul & Osi dive into these questions and more.The Almightier - https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250343284/thealmightier/Paul Vigna was a reporter for the Wall Street Journal and also contributes to the popular MoneyBeat blog. He is the author (with Michael J. Casey) of the critically acclaimed The Age of Cryptocurrency, The Almightier and The Truth Machine. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and son.
