Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a query that many people by no means thought we might be asking: Is our democracy at risk? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent greater than twenty years finding out the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and so they imagine the reply is sure. Democracy not ends with a bang—in a revolution or army coup—however with a whimper: the gradual, regular weakening of crucial establishments, such because the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The excellent news is that there are a number of exit ramps on the street to authoritarianism. The dangerous information is that, by electing Trump, we’ve got already handed the primary one.
Drawing on many years of analysis and a variety of historic and international examples, from Nineteen Thirties Europe to modern Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the American South throughout Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt present how democracies die—and the way ours will be saved.
