Penguin presents the audiobook edition of How Democracies Die by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, read by Fred Sanders.
Two Harvard professors explain the dangerous world we face today. Democracies can die with a coup d’état - or they can die slowly. This happens most deceptively when in piecemeal fashion, with the election of an authoritarian leader, the abuse of governmental power and the complete repression of opposition. All three steps are being taken around the world - not least with the election of Donald Trump - and we must all understand how we can stop them.
In How Democracies Die, Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt draw insightful lessons from across history - from the rule of General Augusto Pinochet in Chile to the quiet undermining of Turkey’s constitutional system by President Recip Erdogan - to shine a light on regime breakdown across the 20th and 21st centuries. Notably they point to the dangers of an authoritarian leader faced with a major crisis.
Based on years of research, they present a deep understanding of how and why democracies die; an alarming analysis of how democracy is being subverted today in the US and beyond; and a guide for maintaining and repairing a threatened democracy, for governments, political parties and individuals. History doesn’t repeat itself. But we can protect our democracy by learning its lessons before it’s too late.

A highly corrupt Constitutional Republic. Like past the point of no return. In 2010, ‘Citizens United’ was the last straw. Legislated into serfdom. Besides, there is only one party when you ignore the mostly manufactured culture war, AKA divide & rule.
Was it Einstein…
doing the same thing over & over voting & voting And expecting different results is insane.

**Punishing Poverty, Rewarding Affluence**
‘How the United States deliberately makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.’
.
“One of the most striking things about the United States is that, as a society, it spends far more money subsidizing affluence than alleviating poverty.
The other notable thing is that poverty persists because the non-poor benefit in many ways by keeping a significant number of Americans in poverty.
Those are two of the most striking conclusions from Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond, who has a new book out. I don’t have the book in my hands (there are over a hundred holds so far at my library), but I’ve been seeing him interviewed by a number of media outlets and what he has to say is shocking.
In fact, rather than a natural outcome of differential talent, there are a number of ways the rich get preferential treatment to stay rich while the poor are kept down. These are becoming more and more extreme and apparent in modern-day America.”

The US is also a democracy. Though it may not be soon.
