Ilana Mercer is a paleolibertarian author, columnist, blogger and thinker. She has appeared on numerous radio, podcasts and television shows.
She has the author of three books, her latest The Trump Revolution: The Donald's Creative Destruction Deconstructed was released in June 2016 and is effectively "the first libertarian book of Trump."
Mercer's weekly column had its debut in 1999 and currently appears in TownHall.com, The Liberty Conservative and The Unz Review, and The Daily Caller prior to that her column "Return to Reason" was exclusively featured on WorldNetDaily.com
Mercer is the author of three books. Her first, Broad Sides: One Woman’s Clash With a Corrupt Culture (2003) is a collection of essays which covers a wide variety of topics through a paleolibertarian lens, described by the author as a “personal manifesto aimed at rolling back the modern Leviathan State and reclaiming civil society.” Peter Brimelow of VDARE.com said “This volume appears at a moment of peculiar crisis for libertarians in general,” implying that libertarian orthodoxy tends to avoid issues of immigration.
In her second book, Into The Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa, Mercer argues that the transfer of power in South Africa to the black majority has yielded disastrous results for them as well as for the white minority. Throughout the book she maintains that if the current patterns of immigration continue, the United States will face a similar fate.
Her latest book The Trump Revolution: The Donald's Creative Destruction Deconstructed, published in June 2016, is a series of real-time essays analyzing from a libertarian point of view the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, whom Mercer describes as "a political Samson that threatens to bring the den of iniquity crashing down on its patrons." Mercer writes that by "drastically diminishing The Machine," Trump "might just help loosen the chains that bind the individual to central government, national and transnational."
