The general take
Ezra Klein found Lions and Scavengers weird and confusing, saying Ben Shapiro makes arguments in the book but fails to clearly identify who he's actually critiquing. Klein's tone suggests skepticism about the book's clarity rather than endorsement.

“I had Ben Shapiro on my show and I was wondering if his book, Lions and Scavengers, is part of what's in your mind there. Though I don't know if that's the one you're thinking of. No, I haven't read that. One of the arguments he's making in that book, I remember having him on the show and I found that book really weird because I was reading it and thinking, he's not naming who he's talking about.”
