Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence

by Vivek Ramaswamy

NY Times Best-Selling Author

Overview

In Nation of Victims, Vivek Ramaswamy presents a searing critique of America's victimhood culture, arguing that the true essence of American identity is found in the unapologetic pursuit of excellence and merit. This national bestseller challenges the widespread belief that we are defined by our suffering, calling instead for a revival of the values that have historically propelled the nation to greatness.

Synopsis

Ramaswamy contends that America is now a nation of victims—across racial, political, and ideological lines—with hardship being equated to a badge of honor rather than a challenge to overcome. Through a blend of historical analysis and contemporary critique, he examines how the celebration of victimhood has eroded the pursuit of excellence and merit. Tracing influences from the fall of Rome to the rise of modern America, Ramaswamy offers a provocative exploration of identity politics and its destructive impact on our society. He calls for a cultural movement that reclaims American values by putting excellence first.
