IAS Book Talk with Guido Alfani
As Gods Among Men: A History of the Rich in the West
Tuesday, January 30, 2024
5:30 p.m., Rubenstein Commons

Who were the rich, in history, and how did they obtain their wealth? Did they play the same role in society, and were they perceived in the same manner, in the past as today? As Gods among Men is the first attempt to provide a general history of the characteristics, the behavior, and the relative economic and social position of the rich and the super-rich, covering the last thousand years of Western history.

Labyrinth Books will be on-site selling copies of As Gods Among Men: A History of the Rich in the West. 

A book signing will follow the talk in Rubenstein Commons.
