On Power

De: Mark R. Levin

Narrado por: Mark R. Levin

#1 New York Times Bestseller

The eight-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, radio host, and Fox News star Mark R. Levin delivers a profound analysis of the philosophy and structure of power and the critical impact of liberty on our collective future.

Throughout history, from ancient civilizations to modern Western republics, power has been used to both oppress and liberate. To reward and exploit. To destroy and build. Monarchs, dictators, and elites who impose tyranny seek to consolidate power, stripping freedom from individuals to maintain control over societies. They use force and deception to ensure their rules remain unchallenged, claiming to act in the name of the common good while stripping individuals of their freedoms.

In contrast, those who seek to use power for good—such as America’s Constitutional Framers—understand that strong societies are born not from force, but consent. Societies built on checks and balances, fair elections, and the preservation of individual rights not only survive, but thrive.

Following in the footsteps of works by thinkers such as Alexis de Tocqueville and Frédéric Bastiat, Mark R. Levin’s On Power examines how power shapes history, offering invaluable insights into individual liberty, unalienable rights, and conservative principles from one of the leading philosophers of modern conservatism.

His explanation of power, positive and negative

I loved that he went back and explained about the founding fathers and their ideas. I also liked that he detailed about Socialism and Communision and what we are seeing today. I love it when the authors do their own narrations!

Excellent Synopsis of Power

As usual, Mark live in hits the Mark Squirrley on what he intends to write. As a true conservative, he goes to the beginnings of our nation to discuss what the founding fathers and thereby and through them the people of this country had intended for a new nation and how it should be covered. Limited power to those in federal offices with checks and balances by the states.

The Bible is the true source of power

I know Mark is sympathetic towards Christianity. I wish he was more detailed about the source of positive power such as in Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” He ought to have contrasted that against the need for the negative power of
the law as in these previous verses: Galatians 5:19-21 (NIV) “The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The clear, concise truth of Mr. Levin

It was absolutely marvelous and should in my belief, BE mandatory reading for every student in High School, their Junior year as part of a mandatory History curriculum. They should spend their first two years learning "correct & factual" American History! This book transcends what is (or "should be" for everyone with half a brain) "common knowledge about right & wrong and how Power applies in these instances and proceeds (clearly & concisely) to truly expound upon the subject in a way that is not only thorough but incredibly accurate in both definition and explanation of the subject! It goes deeply into the aspects and consequences of, both negative and positive Power and leaves the reader/listener so well educated on the subject, that it's hard to say, at it's literary end, "now go on and read (something something else) to get a better understanding of what Mr. Levin has tried to convey here. I have thoroughly enjoyed ALL of Mark Levin's books that I've read &/or listened to up to now and have to say that (without a doubt, to me) this IS his best work yet! Again, a MUST READ for our youth! Who've been SO indoctrinated with lies and misconception pertaining to "Political Power" and the absolutely BRILLIANT MEN who founded our GREAT Nation that it can only be described as "CRIMINAL," because our very future DEPENDS UPON "reversing this atrocity" AS SOON AS POSSIBLE before "it's too late!" Thank you Mark! & God Bless you!

Mark is the Best

Another great book by Mark Levin. Concise but dense wit knowledge and logic. Love it.
