X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In <em>The Almightier</em>\, Vigna takes r
 eaders on a sweeping historical journey from Renaissance Florence to today
 &rsquo\;s global financial markets\, revealing how wealth accumulation evo
 lved from a moral failing into an unspoken civic virtue. He uncovers the f
 orgotten history of money\, tracing the uneasy and often accidental allian
 ce between wealth and religion as it developed from ancient city-states to
  today&rsquo\;s secular world\, where religious devotion has receded and g
 reed has stepped in to fill the void.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Through engaging anec
 dotes\, original research\, and fresh perspectives on the causes of the ma
 ny challenges we face today\, Vigna makes a compelling argument that money
  has no power apart from the power we give it.</p>\n<p>Whether you are int
 erested in economic history\, personal finance\, or the hidden cultural fo
 rces shaping modern life\, this talk is sure to pique your interest.&nbsp\
 ;</p>\n<p>Register today to learn more about how devotion to money has rep
 laced religion as the foundation of our society.</p>\n<h3>About the Author
