In his latest book, “Plunder and Deceit,” Mr. Levin predicts a grim future for today’s 18- to 35-year-olds if current political, economic and social trends continue. Bluntly and honestly, Mr. Levin expresses doubts that these young people can look forward to a future as bright as the one their parents and grandparents enjoyed. At his best, Mr. Levin is part philosopher, part oracle, seamlessly moving from Madison’s “Federalist Papers” (particularly Federalist No. 51, “The Structure of the Government Must Furnish the Proper Checks and Balances Between the Different Departments”) to Edmund Burke and Montesquieu. He shines a light on a republic in decline and visualizes the long-term impact of today’s mass dependence on unfunded government entitlements.
Mr. Levin’s style is direct and acerbic. It’s his shtick. Fans of his radio show will recognize the railing against the “ruling generation” and the absolute refusal to engage in the sociologist-speak of boomer/Gen X/Gen Y/millennial classifications. The decision to refrain is a subtle one, with a profound outcome: One really gets a sense of Mr. Levin’s worldview. He sees a nation he loves in peril; undermined by a dysfunctional system of government run by those who seek to enrich the few at the expense of the many. It’s a world divided between “us” and “them” — the “statists” versus the rest of us.

Bought two copies for my 22 yr. old stepdaughter and my nineteen yr. old daughter
If you are APATHETIC.. learn Spanish.. or Chinese or both...
Without a revolution.... you will have zero choice in these matters..
Voting is just an exercise in VOTER FRAUD.. on a massive scale..
even the primary’s..
The federal givernment has been thorough penetrated with leftists or progressives.. or commies or democrats and RINOs... all the same thing really.. And to be honest MOST State givernments as well...
Clue: A RINO is a commie in sheeps clothing..
It ALL Started on a cold dark rainy night when the commie teachers Unions STOPPED teaching Civics and American History in Federal controlled schools.. and in some districts World History as well.. at least accurate un-tainted world history
AFter 20 to 40 years maybe 50 or 60 of this the public(generally) overall hasn’t a clue of whats really going on.. They have no idea of whats happened to them.. and honestly most DO NOT CARE..
Politics is someones elses PROBLEM...
Happy Election for 2016... Be at peace.. Smile be happy..
VOTE.... and “bitch” a little if the wrong guy gets elected..
IT’S ONLY POLITICS...
Irreverence in the pursuit of Justice and Truth is no vice in my book.. Or Levin’s latest.
Two POOdles Paws UP!!!
Now how will you actually get the young women to read it? Especially if the 22 year old graduated from a university and had her mind thoroughly polluted by her profs.
Tell her there are sections devoted to the Kardashians, Real Housewives, and Bruce/Caitlin Jenner.
great...so this is really Ross Perot of 1992.What he says is accurate but we're tired of hearing it without results...We're talking to each other in circles.
Levin's book was written before Trump came along. Now he's worried about the sales, I can hear it in his shows.
It's opposite (doom and gloom) compared to what Trump is using to rally a nation, and it's working for Trump.
Not good timing for Mark. Sorry Mark, it happens to the best sometimes.
Neither has been to university. My daughter is taking welding classes.
