The Almightier: How Money Became God\, Gre ed Became Virtue\, and Debt Became Sin\, in which he explores the question : how did money go from a tool of commerce into the dominant faith of mode rn society?

\n

In \;The Almightier\, Vigna takes readers on a swe eping historical journey from Renaissance Florence to today&rsquo\;s globa l financial markets\, revealing how wealth accumulation evolved from a mor al failing into an unspoken civic virtue. He uncovers the forgotten histor y of money\, tracing the uneasy and often accidental alliance between weal th and religion as it developed from ancient city-states to today&rsquo\;s secular world\, where religious devotion has receded and greed has steppe d in to fill the void. \;

\n

Through engaging anecdotes\, origina l research\, and fresh perspectives on the causes of the many challenges w e face today\, Vigna makes a compelling argument that money has no power a part from the power we give it.
