Tyranny of the Minority [EPUB ebook] 
How to Reverse an Authoritarian Turn, and Forge a Democracy for All

THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED FOLLOW-UP TO INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER HOW DEMOCRACIES DIE essential reading ahead of the 2024 US election Tyranny of the Minority is an exceptional book, one of the best guides out there to the crisis of American democracy Zack Beauchamp, Vox ————————————-How has democracy become so threatened and what can we do to save it?With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, How Democracies Die, a global bestseller, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent new framework for understanding the dangerous times we live in. They draw on a wealth of examples from the Capitol riots to Edwardian Britain, from 1930s France to present-day Thailand to explore right-wing efforts to undermine the very foundations of the American political system, and to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy.With its attention on factors from election losses to demographic change and voting rights, its urgent call for a reform of our politics to balance the need for majority rule with the need for minority protections, and a citizens movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it s too late, Tyranny of the Minority is a must-read for everyone keen to see more vibrant democracy and to understand where future threats may come from. ————————————- Just like their previous work, this book is concise, readable, and convincing Anne Applebaum, author of Twilight of Democracy An exceptionally perceptive and wide-ranging book . . .
