812: Wealth and Corporate Power - D. Michael Quinn Pt. 1

These episodes of Mormon Stories include a recording of our live interview on 10/23/17 with renowned author, Dr. D. Michael Quinn, author of the final volume of the “Mormon Hierarchy” trilogy.  In his newest book, Wealth & Corporate Power, Michael provides a comprehensive look into how the LDS Church acquired wealth from the early days of the church until the 21st century.

We cover in detail:

• How Michael was persuaded to expand the project from an appendix, to a full-fledged book
• Michael’s meticulous methods in gathering and remembering information
• His thoughts on the ethics of receiving “leaked” information, and whether he uses such information in his work
• His observations in the changes of church financial strategy and salaries throughout the decades of church leadership
• His views of the contemporary Mormon Church

…and so much more
