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 Common Sense AmericanAnyone 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 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 me
