How Democracies Die by Daniel Ziblatt, Steven Levitsky
4.0
How Democracies Die takes readers on an adventure of how democratic guardrails have eroded over time in various countries turning them into authoritarian regimes, and how democracy is slowly fading here at home as well. It describes how 45 is not the disease, but a symptom of the erosion. It isn’t all gloomy though, it does detail how we might move forward after Trump, as well as a few ways we may put our democratic guardrails in their place again.
I enjoyed the insight about other countries which I was unaware of. I also like how the authors detail the decline over time, not just as one large catastrophe starting in 2016. I especially enjoyed the notes about how we might move forward from here.
