Yesterday I went to book stall and picked up Mark Levin's new book "Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto." A short summary Liberty and Tyranny, it is a 205 pages long book, and I had it completed in five hours.

The Liberty and Tyranny theme is straightforward and logical. Chapter one, "On Liberty and Tyranny," lays out the basic conceptual scheme. Mark Levin contrasts 2 opposing political philosophies currently in contention: The Conservative versus the Statist.

He observed that the the statist is discontented with the condition of his own existence. The writer condemns his fellow man, environment, and society itself for denying him the accomplishment, success, and acclamation he believes he deserves.

On the one hand, the Liberty and Tyranny is an exhaustive yet compact lecture on the major political issues of this time. On the other hand, the writer brings to bear the rules of the Yankee Founders and Framers of the Constitution (and the great thinkers who guided them ), illustrating, dissecting, and explaining our present political arguments, while enlightening the reader with the real knowledge left to all of us.

Writer quite properly rejects the label "liberal", because in current usage the term has become wholly divorced from its literal meaning. He writes:
The Modern Liberal believes in the supremacy of the state. For the Modern Liberal, the individual's imperfection and private pursuits impede the objectives of a utopian state. In this, Modern Liberalism promotes what French Historian Alexis de Tocqueville called soft tyranny, which becomes increasingly more oppressive, partly leading to hard tyranny.... As the word "liberal" is, in its classical meaning, the opposite of authoritarian, it is more correct,, to characterize the Modern Liberal as a Statist. (page 4)

Each chapter in Liberty and Tyranny is a well-constructed article, so the reader is reasonably free to read it a little at a time. But, unlike so many contemporary political works, it's also a well-constructed and continuity though out the book This could entice you to remain up all night reading it as soon as a copy comes into your hands.

Overall Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny" is a price worth to buy and read for those who interest in political philosophy
