X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us for an eye-opening conversation wi
 th veteran journalist Paul Vigna as we examine his provocative book\,&nbsp
 \;The Almightier: How Money Became God\, Greed Became Virtue\, and Debt Be
 came Sin\, in which he explores the question: how did money go from a tool
  of commerce into the dominant faith of modern society?&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In&
 nbsp\;The Almightier\, Vigna takes readers on a sweeping historical journe
 y from Renaissance Florence to today&rsquo\;s global financial markets\, r
 evealing how wealth accumulation evolved from a moral failing into an unsp
 oken civic virtue. He uncovers the forgotten history of money\, tracing th
 e uneasy and often accidental alliance between wealth and religion as it d
 eveloped from ancient city-states to today&rsquo\;s secular world\, where 
 religious devotion has receded and greed has stepped in to fill the void.&
 nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Through engaging anecdotes\, original research\, and fresh 
 perspectives on the causes of the many challenges we face today\, Vigna ma
 kes a compelling argument that money has no power apart from the power we 
 give it.</p>\n<p>Whether you are interested in economic history\, personal
  finance\, or the hidden cultural forces shaping modern life\, this talk i
 s sure to pique your interest.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Register today to learn more
  about how devotion to money has replaced religion as the foundation of ou
 r society.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>About the Author:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Paul V
