About this ebook
Why does power so often lead to tyranny—and how can it be restrained? In On Power, constitutional scholar and political commentator Mark R. Levin traces the history of power from ancient empires to modern governments, revealing how it has been used to both oppress and liberate. Through vivid historical examples, Levin shows how despots consolidate control through force and deception, while free societies thrive when power is checked, balanced, and grounded in individual rights.
This chapter-by-chapter summary distills Levin’s central arguments on liberty, governance, and the principles that protect a free people. Drawing inspiration from great thinkers like Alexis de Tocqueville and Frédéric Bastiat, Levin makes the case for a constitutional framework that limits centralized authority and safeguards unalienable rights.
Whether you’re a student of history, a defender of constitutional liberty, or simply curious about how power shapes the world, this summary delivers the essential takeaways from Levin’s timely and thought-provoking work.
