In his acclaimed #1 New York Times bestseller, Mark R. Levin
explores the psychology, motivations, and history of the utopian
movement, its architects--the Founding Fathers, and its modern-day
disciples--and how the individual and American society are being
devoured by it.
Levin asks, what is this utopian force that both allures a free people
and destroys them? Levin digs deep into the past and draws astoundingly
relevant parallels to contemporary America from Plato's Republic,
Thomas More's Utopia, Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan, and Karl Marx's
Communist Manifesto, as well as from the critical works of John Locke,
Charles Montesquieu, Alexis de Tocqueville, and other philosophical
pioneers who brilliantly diagnosed the nature of man and government. As
Levin meticulously pursues his subject, the reader joins him in an
enlightening and compelling journey. And in the end, Levin's message is
clear: the American republic is in great peril. The people must now
choose between utopianism or liberty.
President Ronald Reagan warned, "freedom is never more than one
generation away from extinction." Levin agrees, and with Ameritopia,
delivers another modern political classic, an indispensable guide for
America in our time and in the future.
