The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America
$8.10
Description
Book Synopsis: The New York Times bestselling author of The Case for Trump explains the decline and fall of the once cherished idea of American citizenship.
Human history is full of the stories of peasants, subjects, and tribes. Yet the concept of the “citizen” is historically rare—and was among America’s most valued ideals for over two centuries. But without shock treatment, warns historian Victor Davis Hanson, American citizenship as we have known it may soon vanish.
In The Dying Citizen, Hanson outlines the historical forces that led to this crisis. The evisceration of the middle class over the last fifty years has made many Americans dependent on the federal government. Open borders have undermined the idea of allegiance to a particular place. Identity politics have eradicated our collective civic sense of self. And a top-heavy administrative state has endangered personal liberty, along with formal efforts to weaken the Constitution.
As in the revolutionary years of 1848, 1917, and 1968, 2020 ripped away our complacency about the future. But in the aftermath, we as Americans can rebuild and recover what we have lost. The choice is ours.
Details
Discover the eye-opening truths about the decline of American citizenship in Victor Davis Hanson's groundbreaking book, The Dying Citizen. As a New York Times bestselling author, Hanson provides a compelling analysis of the historical forces that have led to this crisis, revealing how progressive elites, tribalism, and globalization have eroded the idea of America. With a sharp focus on the evisceration of the middle class, the erosion of national boundaries, the rise of identity politics, and the endangerment of personal liberty, Hanson uncovers the alarming reality of our current situation.
With each passing year, more and more Americans become reliant on the federal government, losing their autonomy and independence. The once unifying concept of allegiance to a particular place has been shattered by open borders, fostering a sense of detachment from our nation. The rise of identity politics further deepens the divide, eradicating our collective civic sense of self. Additionally, the extensive administrative state threatens personal freedom, while concerted efforts are made to weaken the very foundation of the Constitution.
Fortunately, history has shown us that moments of crisis can lead to transformative change. Just as in past revolutionary years, such as 1848, 1917, and 1968, the year 2020 has forced us to confront uncomfortable truths about the future of American citizenship. However, even in the face of adversity, we still have the power to rebuild and recover what we have lost. The choice to revive the spirit of America and uphold its once cherished ideals rests in our hands.
