Nation of Victims
Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence
Book • 2022
In 'Nation of Victims,' Vivek Ramaswamy critiques the pervasive victimhood culture in modern American society, which he argues undermines personal responsibility and collective progress.
Ramaswamy traces the historical and philosophical roots of this culture, from the Civil Rights Movement to current educational and parenting practices.
He contends that this mindset has infiltrated institutions, political discourse, and self-perception, leading to a society where victimhood is celebrated over heroism and merit.
Ramaswamy proposes a path forward by advocating for a cultural shift towards personal accountability, resilience, and empowerment.
He suggests reforms in education, policy, and public discourse to foster an environment that promotes individual achievement and national excellence rather than dependency and division.
