Tyranny of the Minority: How to Reverse an Authoritarian Turn, and Forge a Democ

Description: Tyranny of the Minority by Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt An urgent follow-up to international bestseller How Democracies Die, by two world-leading experts on democracyIn this razor-sharp analysis of one of the most important issues facing us today, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt draw on their combined expertise of over 40 years to offer a dire warning about right-wing efforts to undermine multiracial democracy.Exploring the 2024 American election and the Capitol riots, as well as global examples from history including post-1945 Germany and Brazil and Chile during the 60s and 70s, the authors show how certain political institutions can be pernicious enablers of minority rule, creating a situation in which partisan minorities can consistently thwart and even rule over popular majorities.With its urgent call for a radical reform of our politics to balance the need for majority rule with the need for minority protections, and a citizens movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before its too late, Tyranny of the Minority is a must-read for everyone keen to see more vibrant democracy.
