X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In&nbsp\;The Almightier\, Vigna takes read
 ers on a sweeping historical journey from Renaissance Florence to today&rs
 quo\;s global financial markets\, revealing how wealth accumulation evolve
 d from a moral failing into an unspoken civic virtue. He uncovers the forg
 otten history of money\, tracing the uneasy and often accidental alliance 
 between wealth and religion as it developed from ancient city-states to to
 day&rsquo\;s secular world\, where religious devotion has receded and gree
 d has stepped in to fill the void.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Through engaging anecdot
 es\, original research\, and fresh perspectives on the causes of the many 
 challenges we face today\, Vigna makes a compelling argument that money ha
 s no power apart from the power we give it.</p>\n<p>Whether you are intere
 sted in economic history\, personal finance\, or the hidden cultural force
 s shaping modern life\, this talk is sure to pique your interest.&nbsp\;</
