Description

How does a democracy die?
What can we do to save our own?
What lessons does history teach us?
In the twenty-first century democracy is threatened like never before.
Drawing insightful lessons from across history - from Pinochet s murderous Chilean regime to Erdogan s quiet dismantling in Turkey - Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt explain why democracies fail, how leaders like Trump subvert them today and what each of us can do to protect our democratic rights.

Anyone who is concerned about the future of democracy should read this brisk, accessible book. Anyone who is not concerned should definitely read it Daron Acemoglu, co-author of Why Nations Fail

A must-read Andrew Marr, Sunday Times

Provocative, timely. One of my favourite reads this year Elif Shafak, author of The Bastard of Istanbul

A lucid and essential guide to what can happen Jennifer Szalai, New York Times
