Book Description:
A shocking, eye-opening look at how liberal democracies worldwide are falling apart and a plan for saving our own.
Many of us never thought we’d be asking this question, but Donald Trump’s presidency has made us ask it: Is our democracy in danger? Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have studied the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America for over twenty years, and they think the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a revolution or a military coup but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions like the judiciary and the press and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The good news is that the road to authoritarianism has several exits. The bad news is that we already chose Trump in the first election, so we can’t change it.
Levitsky and Ziblatt use decades of research and a wide range of historical and modern examples, from Europe in the 1930s to Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela today to the Jim Crow era in the American South, to show how democracies die and how ours can be saved.
