  • Behind the Book with Paul Vigna

    Register today for this virtual talk from the comfort of your home for a conversation with veteran journalist Paul Vigna as we examine his provocative book, 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 tool of commerce into the dominant faith of modern society? In The Almightier, Vigna takes readers on a sweeping historical journey from Renaissance Florence to today’s global financial markets, revealing how wealth accumulation evolved from a moral failing into an unspoken civic virtue. He uncovers the forgotten history of money, tracing the uneasy and often accidental alliance between wealth and religion as it developed from ancient city-states to today’s secular world, where religious devotion has receded and greed has stepped in to fill the void. Register here (it's FREE) and ask questions of the authors: https://libraryc.org/ebatesville/219399 Digital live-stream is on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. Can’t attend live.
