In "Broke," Glenn Beck delivers a riveting exploration of America's journey to the brink of financial ruin, intertwining historical insights with a critical examination of the nation's spirit and constitutional abandonment. Beck argues that the United States, once a beacon of freedom and prosperity, now teeters on the edge of chaos, not merely because of its financial debts but due to a deeper erosion of national values, faith in government, and a departure from the foundational principles that once guided its leaders and policies. Through a compelling narrative that spans over two centuries of American history, Beck invites readers on a journey from the American Revolution to the present day, highlighting how shifts in political ideology and the accumulation of power in federal hands have led to a nation unrecognizable from its founding ideals. Beyond diagnosing the causes of America's fiscal and spiritual bankruptcy, "Broke" also offers a glimmer of hope and a call to action. Beck emphasizes that understanding the full scope of the nation's challenges is the first step towards meaningful and radical reform. By advocating for a return to individual rights, strict adherence to the Constitution, and a reevaluation of government's role in society, Beck not only critiques the progressive agenda but also lays down a roadmap for restoration. With engaging storytelling, historical anecdotes, and Beck's signature blend of entertainment and enlightenment, "Broke" is not just an analysis of America's past mistakes but a passionate plea for its citizens to reclaim the principles of freedom and responsibility that once made the country great.

great civilization arises. The state encroaches on freedom and demands more power. People take less responsibility for themselves and want more handouts from the government. Taxes go up to pay for the handouts. The size of government explodes and economic growth slows.
