An urgent follow-up to international bestseller How Democracies
Die, by two world-leading experts on democracy In 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 ossified political conventions 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 antiquated institutions
for the benefit of the majority, and a citizens' movement to put
enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it's too late, Tyranny
of the Minority is a must-read for every participant in the
emerging democratic reform movement.
