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.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLevin 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 \u003ci\u003eRepublic\u003c\/i\u003e, Thomas More's \u003ci\u003eUtopia\u003c\/i\u003e, Thomas Hobbes's \u003ci\u003eLeviathan\u003c\/i\u003e, and Karl Marx's \u003ci\u003eCommunist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePresident Ronald Reagan warned, \"freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.\" Levin agrees, and with \u003ci\u003eAmeritopia\u003c\/i\u003e, delivers another modern political classic, an indispensable guide for America in our time and in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMark R.
