When you earn power, how do you use it? With purpose or recklessly?
Mark Levin’s new book, On Power, is a thorough examination of the Founding Fathers’ principles, the necessity of power, and, equally important, the need to limit it, along with the dangers posed by the constant lust for power and the relentless greed to retain it.

Levin argues that the challenge lies in maintaining the moral center needed to govern with meaning and purpose, resisting the pull of human nature that often leads those in power to fail.
He points to the unchecked power used by judges, who either become activists once they hold power on the bench or have always been activists by nature, and how they are used as effective weapons, particularly against conservatives.
The book effectively argues that Americans do not fully have liberty and the rights provided to us by the Founding Fathers if the debate over power isn’t confronted and explored robustly. Levin’s prose is intellectual and full of working-class grit, arguing that both sides of our brains can appreciate.
Levin is the conservative movement’s moral center. He’s a feisty nationally syndicated talk radio host and host of the Fox News show Life, Liberty & Levin, as well as the author of eight consecutive #1 New York Times bestsellers, including On Power, which has been at the top of the list for two weeks in a row.

The book invites readers to reconsider the nature of power and its impact, how men and women have wielded it for good and evil, and, most importantly, how to discern the subtle line between the two when it veers into dangerous territory.
On Power challenges you to think in ways only Levin can. Written in a conversational style, it makes a rarely explored subject highly readable and essential to understanding why people act as they do when they hold power.
