In God We Tru$t
Available on Amazon - amazon.com/author/josephchiodi-books
The new world order and the Catholic Church are on a collision course. In God
We Tru$t chronicles the collapse of the US dollar and the rise to power of Ange
Malin, as he is transformed from a mid-level UN French bureaucrat to world
leader. Ange assumes control over world affairs by wielding tremendous power
from his leadership seat on the Global Resource Council.
With complicit mainstream and social media partners and an economically
crippled America, Malin and the Global Resource Council manipulate the
people through taxation and punitive policies. With the new world order’s
control over the masses nearly complete, Malin needs only the help of the
corrupt Pope Alexander IX and access to the Vatican’s ultra-secret and
ultra-powerful Good Shepherd Project to seal the deal.
Unwilling to allow the Church to be destroyed, American economist
Lamar Wilson and Cardinal Salvador Ultima from Spain lead the resistance.
Time is running out and victory seems out of reach for Lamar and the Cardinal,
until a stunning sequence of events puts them back in the game.

The author goes into great detail about the world of gobal finance and the realm of politics. The front cover could be better. An exceptional work. Was given a free copy of this story in exchange for a review.
In Joseph Chiodi’s novel, “In God We Tru$t” the year is 2041. The United States economy is on the brink of collapse, and the dollar is crashing due to the over 130 trillion dollars of accumulated national debt. This crash has a cascading effect the world over, as seen by the rise in hunger and looting. The United Nations saw this as an opportunity to take away freedom from the people in exchange for a temporary solution. Lamar Wilson is an intelligent Princeton economics graduate who saw the looming danger and tried to warn the public, but his voice was constantly stifled by the corrupt media.
The UN says the current world order needs restructuring because it no longer serves its purpose and is proposing a Fair New Deal which will be the solution to the current world problem. Ken is a young and intelligent economist who works with newly elected President Nichols as his economic adviser and has been working hard to rescue America from this mess.
Ange, on the other hand, is a French representative to the United Nations and has been appointed to head a committee that will investigate income inequality worldwide. Along the way, Ange and Ken need to collaborate with a host of others, like Cheng Liu, Divya Patel, Alicia Gardienne, etc., to modify the current world order. It involves creating a digital currency known as “Par,” which will be used to address inequality and stabilize international trade. Did these men succeed, or did they have ulterior motives for changing the world order? Read “In God We Tru$t” to find out.
As I read this fictional tale, I unfortunately visualized the current situation in my country, Nigeria. The numerous government borrowings have not ended unemployment and hunger but have rather increased the rate of violent protests, aligning with the central message of this book that resonated with me – the need for companies and individuals to consider the common good as the focal point of whatever decisions they wish to make.
The book is written well, and the characters kept me hooked on the outcome. My favorite character in this book is Ange Malin. His boldness and courage to bring equality to the world and remove suffering resonated with me.
“In God We Tru$t” is more than just a story – it’s a warning. Chiodi lays out this possible future where things have gone wrong because of short-sighted decisions. It’s a reminder of how ignoring big issues like debt, inequality, and power can create chaos. Not just in one country, but around the world. The characters, the economic mess, and their choices all come together to create a fictional story that could become real if we don’t look seriously at these issues now. It’s a powerful, eye-opening read that not only entertains but makes you wonder about our future and the changes we need to look at. For anyone interested in seeing a future we should work to avoid, “In God We Tru$t” by Joseph Chiodi is that book.
