X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In The Almightier\, Vigna takes readers on
  a sweeping historical journey from Renaissance Florence to today&rsquo\;s
  global financial markets\, revealing how wealth accumulation evolved from
  a moral failing into an unspoken civic virtue. He uncovers the forgotten 
 history of money\, tracing the uneasy and often accidental alliance betwee
 n wealth and religion as it developed from ancient city-states to today&rs
 quo\;s secular world\, where religious devotion has receded and greed has 
 stepped in to fill the void.</p>\n<p>Through engaging anecdotes\, original
  research\, and fresh perspectives on the causes of the many challenges we
  face today\, Vigna makes a compelling argument that money has no power ap
 art from the power we give it.</p>\n<p>Whether you are interested in econo
 mic history\, personal finance\, or the hidden cultural forces shaping mod
 ern life\, this talk is sure to pique your interest.</p>\n<p>Register toda
 y to learn more about how devotion to money has replaced religion as the f
 oundation of our society.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong>About the Author:</stro
