Join veteran journalist Paul Vigna as we e xamine his book\, \;The Almightier: How Money Became God\, Greed B ecame Virtue\, and Debt Became Sin.
\nHe uncovers the forgotten history of money\, tracing the uneasy and often accidental alliance betwe en wealth and religion as it developed from ancient city-states to today&r squo\;s secular world\, where religious devotion has receded and greed has stepped in to fill the void. \;
\nVigna makes a compelling argu ment that money has no power apart from the power we give it.
