X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us for an eye-opening conversation wi
 th veteran journalist Paul Vigna as we examine his provocative book\, <em>
 The Almightier: How Money Became God\, Greed Became Virtue\, and Debt Beca
 me Sin</em>\, in which he explores the question: how did money go from a t
 ool of commerce into the dominant faith of modern society?&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>
 In <em>The Almightier</em>\, Vigna takes readers on a sweeping historical 
 journey from Renaissance Florence to today&rsquo\;s global financial marke
 ts\, revealing how wealth accumulation evolved from a moral failing into a
 n unspoken civic virtue. He uncovers the forgotten history of money\, trac
 ing the uneasy and often accidental alliance between wealth and religion a
 s it developed from ancient city-states to today&rsquo\;s secular world\, 
 where religious devotion has receded and greed has stepped in to fill the 
 void.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Through engaging anecdotes\, original research\, and 
 fresh perspectives on the causes of the many challenges we face today\, Vi
 gna makes a compelling argument that money has no power apart from the pow
 er we give it.</p>\n<p>Whether you are interested in economic history\, pe
 rsonal finance\, or the hidden cultural forces shaping modern life\, this 
 talk is sure to pique your interest.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Register today to lear
 n more about how devotion to money has replaced religion as the foundation
  of our society.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong>About the Author:&nbsp\;</strong
