Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a bang--in a revolution or military coup--but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already passed the first one. Drawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies die--and how ours can be saved." -- Amazon.com. 648 7 Since 2017 |2fast 650 0 Democracy. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85036647 650 0 Political culture. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh87001689 650 0 Democracy |zUnited States. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102152 650 0 Political culture |zUnited States. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108984 650 7 Democracy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 Political culture. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 Politics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 United States |xPolitics and government |y2017-. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2017000457 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 Ziblatt, Daniel, |d1972- |eauthor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2005016656 852 0 |bdixn |hJC423 |i.L4855 2018 902 dls |bl |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20180207 904 dls |ba |hm |cb |e20180207 914 (OCoLC)ocn986837776 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20221117 |eprocessed |f986837776
