The People vs. Democracy: Why Our Freedom Is in Danger and How to Save It by Yascha Mounk

3.0

Liberal democracy is in crisis. But liberal democracy is two different things joined together. You have a liberal regime if you have checks and balances, safeguarded freedoms, etc. You have a democracy when the opinion of the majority of the citizens is translated into policies.

This book is an excellent survey of why liberal democracies are in crisis and it deserves 5 stars for that survey.

The book is less convincing when proposing solutions to that crisis.
