A new book titled "Let Freedom Ring: Thoughts on the Political Betrayal of America and the Peoples' Coming Apocalypse" by author M.G. Montpelier delivers a sweeping indictment of what he describes as a calculated restructuring of the United States from a middle-class democracy to a system dominated by concentrated wealth and ideological extremism. Published by Citi of Books, the work combines analytical essays, historical analysis, political critique, and poetry to argue that the nation has undergone a deliberate ideological project to "save capitalism from democracy."
Montpelier traces the roots of this transformation to the 1971 Powell Memorandum and the subsequent rise of "Trickle-Down" economics, asserting that deregulation, privatization, dark money influence, and corporate consolidation have fundamentally reshaped American governance. The book contends that public infrastructure, civil liberties, social safety nets, and electoral integrity have been systematically weakened, culminating in what the author characterizes as a looming authoritarian shift. Central to the argument is a warning about "Project 2025" and related political strategies, which Montpelier describes as an unprecedented attempt to restructure federal governance and diminish democratic accountability.
The book frames modern America as a nation struggling under concentrated wealth, wage stagnation, weakened labor power, voter suppression, and institutional erosion. Yet "Let Freedom Ring" is not solely a critique; it is also an appeal for civic awakening. Montpelier calls for electoral participation and a renewed commitment to constitutional principles of liberty, justice, and the general welfare. Emphasizing that "every vote matters," the book positions the coming electoral cycles as decisive moments in preserving or surrendering American democracy.
Urgent in tone and expansive in scope, "Let Freedom Ring" seeks to galvanize citizens to defend democratic institutions and restore what the author views as the moral and economic foundations of a just society. The book is available through multiple retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Powell's.
Citi of Books, the publisher, began as a small literary boutique in New Mexico focused on helping local authors publish and market their books. It has since expanded to serve writers across the United States and Canada, emphasizing high-quality publishing services including book production, rights management, sales, royalties, and promotion. The company aims to support diverse authors and foster a community centered on storytelling, innovation, and literary success.
