 s for an eye-opening conversation with veteran journalist Paul Vigna as we
  examine his provocative book\, "<a href="https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v
 2/record/S18C917044">The Almightier: How Money Became God\, Greed Became V
 irtue\, and Debt Became Sin</a>\," in which he explores the question: how 
 did money go from a tool of commerce to the dominant faith of modern socie
 ty?</p>\n<p>In "The Almightier\," Vigna takes readers on a sweeping histor
 ical journey from Renaissance Florence to today&rsquo\;s global financial 
 markets\, revealing how wealth accumulation evolved from a moral failing i
 nto an unspoken civic virtue. He uncovers the forgotten history of money\,
  tracing the uneasy and often accidental alliance between wealth and relig
 ion as it developed from ancient city-states to today&rsquo\;s secular wor
 ld\, where religious devotion has receded and greed has stepped in to fill
  the void.</p>\n<p>Through engaging anecdotes\, original research\, and fr
 esh perspectives on the causes of the many challenges we face today\, Vign
 a makes 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\, pers
 onal finance or the hidden cultural forces shaping modern life\, this talk
  is sure to pique your interest.</p>\n<p>Register today to learn more abou
 t how devotion to money has replaced religion as the foundation of our soc
 iety.</p>\n<p>Adults.&nbsp\;<a href="https://libraryc.org/dbrl/218886/regi
