In 2029: The Post-MAGA Global Financial Market Crash, pastor, Veteran, hypnotic-trance therapist, and Christian finance coach Aaron M. Montague spins a prophetic, laugh-out-loud, uncomfortably plausible novel about what happens when:
The world decides the ""crazy years"" are over,
The markets disagree,
and the African Diaspora quietly refuses to die broke one more time.
This is not dry economics. This is church-basement prophecy meets Wall Street plumbing, with a side of West Philly humor and diaspora receipts.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDE
A Crash That Feels Too Real
A slow-burn, global market unraveling where ""safe-ish"" funds gate, ""stable"" coins wobble, and a Half-Bailout keeps the pipes from freezing-but can't fix the story.
The West Philadelphia Billionaires Society (WPBS)
A not-so-ridiculous idea born in a church basement: one million everyday people each investing a little, every day, to buy laundromats, land, clinics, corner stores, and credit unions-together.
The Diaspora Mesh
Ghana, Jamaica, Nigeria, London, Toronto, Philly and beyond: a global web of aunties, bus drivers, coders, nurses, and shopkeepers who turn remittances into community-owned assets instead of just receipts.
Real-World Blueprints in Disguise
Under the fiction, you'll recognize echoes of actual worker cooperatives, community land trusts, Black credit unions, CDFIs, and the long, unfinished story of Greenwood / ""Black Wall Street.""
Faith, Humor, and Hard Questions
Scripture in the boardroom. Jokes in the budget meeting. Prayer in the underwriting. And a repeated, uncomfortable question:
""Who actually owns anything when the music stops?""
