"Depending on whom you ask, he was either a great healer or a dangerous charlatan. Internationally acclaimed historian Iain McCalman documents how Cagliostro crossed paths -- and often swords -- with the likes of Catherine the Great, Marie Antoinette, and Pope Pius VI. He was a muse to William Blake and the inspiration for both Mozart's Magic Flute and Goethe’s Faust. Louis XVI had him thrown into the Bastille for his alleged involvement in what would come to be known as ''the affair of the necklace.'' Yet in London, Warsaw, and St. Petersburg, he established ''healing clinics'' for the poorest of the poor, and his dexterity in the worlds of alchemy and spiritualism won him acclaim among the nobility across Europe."

Free (?) book:
"Money, at least in modern times, is the result of an “alchemical” operation and a kind of “financial technology,” the operation of transmuting
nothing into something, in this case, of turning a mere entry on a bank ledger — a “nothing” — into a unit of commercial exchange — a
“something.” Likewise, alchemy is a “science” of transmuting base metals into gold, and that implies an underlying physics and technology to
accomplish the act. To call both an alchemical operation is to imply the fact that beneath the magical operations of banking there lies a deep physics, and perhaps a profoundly misunderstood physics. In any case, these are the conceptual poles between which our story moves."
