How Democracies Die: What History Reveals About Our Future by Daniel Ziblatt, Steven Levitsky

4.0

I have been waiting to review this book to make it stellar. I give up the attempt. If I wait any longer the only thing I will remember is that I like it. It is a scary book, particularly in the world we live in, where democracy is under threat and the United States likely will vote a dictator into office again next year. That’s the problem with democracy, people don’t vote as they should. It happened in Germany in the 1930’s too. The author gives more recent examples, particularly from South America. Read this book! It could become banned in a few short years.
