Description
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.

Awesome!
5By ken-dieselThis is a fantastic book!Beware of a author that hides his bad ideolgical ideas behind a Flag
1By LM_RevolutionAnyone that trys to wrap their bad ideogical ideas behind a flag does not have the countries best interest at heart. Mark Levin is no different. His books reads of pure ideology and no sense of reality. All Partisan rage and no common sense. No surpise he wraps his nonsense around a flag that represents freedom. Otherwise his ideas be called out for what they are tyrannical. not a good readFantastic!!
5By ADarksideGreat book, would recommend it to all my fellow conservatives!Amazing
5By DunnsiTunesThere's a reason why Mark Levin is referred to as "The Great One". Everyone should read this book.Fantastic
5By RobertsipodincAnother great one from the great oneAmeritopia
5By Donnie3214This is "Animal Farm" 2012! Animal Farm was required reading in the 50's. Ameritopia should be required now,Perfect timing
5By Dado leans rightMr. Levin puts his heart in this piece of literature that should be on every desk and dinner table. From a historical perspective, our country is in peril and Mark explains the basis for these times. Educate your kids and grand kids by sharing this piece of wisdom and knowledge.Ameritopia
2By A6PilotToo many quotes for me. Seemed like most of the reading was a compilation of quotes, very little observations from the author. But, interesting overall.A must-read
5By pegwordLevin has delivered an invaluable tool of information at a critical time in America's history. Whether or not we survive as founded depends largely on how many grasp the difference between the shining city in a hill we once were and the false utopia we are in grave danger of becoming.better than sleeping pills
1By richdaddy123this book is better than sleeping pills....cuz it will put you to sleep in a flash. i dont know who gives this book good reviews, but they must be boring people also.i think i would rather read a high school government text book than listen to this audio book. im only on chapter 4 and its really bad. dont waste your money,unless you have trouble sleeping then its perfect for you. i would have given this book 1/4 stars but it wouldnt let meThe great one nails it
5By Deeznuts1982LEVIN IS A GENIUS. Screw you Paultards. You're almost worse than obama drones. Mark nails it again.Ameritopia
5By yummy_6969Another great book by the "Great One" Mark Levin. If you consider yourself to be an American you owe it to yourself to read this book. Well researched and written it gives you an appreciation of the Founders and their thinking while crafting the Constitution and of the influential men that inspired them at the time with their revolutionary thinking.Enlightening!
5By ChomelchizoI've never read anything by this author before. I have to say, though, that the thoughtful way he compares the various utopian philosophies (egalitarian and libertarian alike) and presents his argument is impressive and enlightening. I highly recommend this book. It is important.Ignorance is Bliss...I guess
4By respearsAn amazing, well cited, thoughtful work for anyone. I assume the hate reviews are just trolls or uneducated politic-myrmidons. Oh well, that's too bad.John Romeo
5By Smith WinstonAmeritopia the essential book that the Founding Father warned would not be written; that freedom would perish if their posterity did not study the founding and the debate over the Constitution. Mark Levin's book is the missing textbook from every school in America. For me, the most important part of the book is the bibliography, because you simply can't make this stuff up. The bibliography is the outline for any University Political Science program. Not only is Ameritopia essential reading, but the reference books should read as well.Not GOP propaganda
5By BillsibubTo the reviewers who dismisses this book as propaganda: they don't know what they are talking about and either didn't read the book or know nothing of Mark Levin. He is not part of the GOP and is just as critical , if not more so, of the republican establishment than he is of progressive democrats. He is a true believer in individual liberty and our founding principles. This book gets to the core of the internal rot that has plagued this country for close to 100 years.AMERITOPIA
5By OoshimushiAnyone who says they can't read and understand this book doesn't want to know what's going on and doesn't have to be an intellectual every word has been carefully selected so the truth just pops out no slick prose you can picture the decisions being made. Thank you Great One for your Love of our country and it's people You have blessed us again with your knowledge and desire to educate the people to preserve our very way of Life and the essence of a living document our Constitution...........Our kids are being brainwashed
5By Free-usWe are on the road to serfdom and the Great One puts it in perspective. The answer is what Milton Friedman was trying to tell us a generation ago. If only the do-gooders could understand.GOP propaganda
1By SameoldstuffCover says it all. You want to sell a book to pander to the right wing, just put a hack with a defiant pose in front of the stars and stripes. Same old sky is falling material in a not so new cover. Whatever keeps the right wing anger fueled.
