About
Join veteran journalist Paul Vigna for an enlightening discussion on his book, The Almightier: How Money Became God, Greed Became Virtue, and Debt Became Sin. Vigna explores how money transformed from a practical tool into modern society's dominant faith, tracing its evolution from Renaissance Florence to today’s global markets. Through engaging anecdotes and original research, Vigna argues that money derives its power from the value we assign to it. Paul Vigna is an accomplished author, journalist, editor, and speaker, with a special focus on capital markets and cryptocurrencies. This talk will be held online via our Authors and Speakers site, in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium. Register via the Event Link (see below) to receive an email with the watch link and reminders as the event approaches. After the talk ends, you'll receive an email with a link to the recording.
