How Democracies Die: What History Reveals About Our Future by Daniel Ziblatt, Steven Levitsky
4.0
I enjoyed that this book seemed very well researched. As someone who is interesting in modern politics and history, I felt that this was a truly interesting read. Some portions got a little blah for me, but others were very engaging. I think it is interesting to look at how other countries have address some of the same issues within democracy (or have not address them) and the varying outcomes. Even more than that, how we have addressed similar issues in the past.
Democracy is not a one-size-fits-all approach to governing. This book addresses some topics that are still hot today (book written in 2018) such as BLM, racial equality and ethnic diversity, court-packing, and more -and....- I kind of want a follow up to address these last two years. It is obvious that tensions between parties are high right now, but hopefully some of the issues can be bridged and we will eventually be back on track to a better democracy. *fingers crossed*
