In this episode of Philadelphia Promise, Christine Speer Lejeune, editor-in-chief of Philadelphia magazine, sits down with author, political thinker and all-around Renaissance man Richard Vague.

In his new book, The Banker Who Made America, Vague shines a spotlight on Thomas Willing, a highly influential Philadelphian who leveraged the power of American banking to help the country win its independence.

Join us for a fascinating conversation about a nearly forgotten but extremely important Founding Father.
