Lions and Scavengers

The True Story of America (and Her Critics)

De: Ben Shapiro

Narrado por: Ben Shapiro

#1 New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro examines the current state of America and Western civilization, and poses a question: will we be Lions, or will we be Scavengers?

In a world split between noble Lions and destructive Scavengers, only the brave can lead the way. Acclaimed writer and conservative thought leader Ben Shapiro knows that at the heart of today’s conflicts—political, economic, and cultural—there’s a dangerous lie: that all people are equal in ability, and that all inequality stems from oppression and exploitation.

With his signature clarity and sharp insight, Shapiro refutes that lie, emphasizing that in a free country, inequality is rooted in differences of talent and work ethic—not oppression—and that the best solution to lack of success lies in duty and virtue. Lions, like America’s founding fathers, strive for the highest good, building systems that promote freedom, prosperity, and equality of opportunity. Meanwhile, Scavengers degrade these ideals, spreading resentment and entitlement that threaten to dismantle the foundations of Western civilization.

In Lions and Scavengers, Shapiro invites you to take up the mantle of the Lion and defend the principles that shape the freedom of a fair, powerful society. With the stakes higher than ever, this book is a gripping exploration of the ongoing war between those who cherish our nation and those who seek to undermine it. The triumph of the Lions is essential for America’s continued success. It’s a rallying cry for those who refuse to bow to the Scavengers’ demands. It’s time to fight back.

Meaningful forever

I have learned so much in 3 chapters…

The first 3 chapters taught me more in less than an hour than I have learned from any book I have listened to in years. Ben is brilliant and if you are thinking of buying this book you are already a fan and won’t be disappointed. My only criticism would be that he is narrating the book as a reader and probably could have used the emotion he brings to every speech he gives. After all he wrote it so they are his thoughts. Can’t wait to listen to more.

It was a clear summation of where we currently stand, and what the conflict of our time is about

Ben Shapiro gives a excellent synopsis of the trials of our current time. Where those who choose the easy path try to claw their way up on the backs of those who choose the hard path.

Clear and Concise

I love the pace. Keep the skip backwards by 30 seconds button handy if your mind does not process as fast as Ben. Hah. Good read to help clarify one’s thoughts and points out obvious facts that somehow were not obvious before.

Scavenger's constantly lying.

The ease at which the Scavenger lies are proven faults. Every lie or half truth they state is easily disproven with factual data.

I look forward to Ben's next book, "The Lion is Awake: How President Trump Saved America. " I'm standing by to pre-order.

Very informative

Great read. Ben quotes from a wide range of sources to build his framework of lions and scavengers. I always learn something new from his books.

ROAR!

It's hard to listen to at times because it seems hopeless, but Ben gives great points and encouragement throughout. Uplifting, encouraging and empowering overall, I highly recommend it!!!

Be a Lion

Protect what makes our society great and defend against those who want to destroy it.

Great work!

had to give 4 stars on performance simply because Ben didnt use his "Bernie" voice when quoting Bernie Sanders haha. Lays out how the situation we find ourselves in, in America has been ushered in by a portion of the culture

Big Ben Strikes Again!

It's been a while since Ben's last book (slacker), but this one was worth the wait! His thesis is sound and he brings the receipts to back up all of his claims. This is a great book that would make an excellent gift to someone in your life who could use a good civics education!
