Tyranny of the minority : how to reverse an authoritarian turn, and forge a democracy for all / Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt.

Livre

Levitsky, Steven

In this analysis of one of the most important issues facing us today, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt 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.
