| Sommario/riassunto: | American Leviathan, authored by Ned Ryun, explores the evolution and impact of the bureaucratic state in America, tracing its origins back over a century. The book argues that the rise of an unaccountable bureaucracy poses a significant threat to the American Republic and its foundational principles. Ryun examines the influence of progressive statists and their departure from the intentions of the Founding Fathers, highlighting their role in transforming American governance. The book is targeted at readers interested in political history and current affairs, aiming to inspire a reevaluation of government structures and encourage a return to the principles of a republic. Through this work, Ryun seeks to provide insights into the perceived dangers of an expanding state and offers a call to action for political reform. |
