SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: How Money Became God: Rethinking Wealth and Gr
 eed in Modern Society with Paul Vigna
DESCRIPTION:Register here! This is a virtual program. You will receive an 
 email with the link to the program feed.Join us for an eye-opening convers
 ation with veteran journalist Paul Vigna as we examine his provocative boo
 k\, The Almightier: How Money Became God\, Greed Became Virtue\, and Debt
  Became Sin\, in which he explores the question: how did money go from a t
 ool of commerce into the dominant faith of modern society? In The Almigh
 tier\, Vigna takes readers on a sweeping historical journey from Renaissan
 ce Florence to today’s global financial markets\, revealing how wealth a
 ccumulation evolved from a moral failing into an unspoken civic virtue. He
  uncovers the forgotten history of money\, tracing the uneasy and often ac
 cidental alliance between wealth and religion as it developed from ancient
  city-states to today’s secular world\, where religious devotion has rec
 eded and greed has stepped in to fill the void. Through engaging anecdote
 s\, original research\, and fresh perspectives on the causes of the many c
 hallenges we face today\, Vigna makes a compelling argument that money has
  no power apart from the power we give it.Whether you are interested in ec
 onomic history\, personal finance\, or the hidden cultural forces shaping 
 modern life\, this talk is sure to pique your interest. Register today to
  learn more about how devotion to money has replaced religion as the found
 ation of our society. About the Author: Paul Vigna is an author\, journa
