From America’s leading scholar of democracy,a personal, passionate call to action against the rising authoritarianism that challenges our world order - and the very value of liberty
Larry Diamond has made it his life’s work to secure democracy’s future by understanding its past and by advising dissidents fighting autocracy around the world. Deeply attuned to the cycles of democratic expansion and decay that determine the fates of nations, he watched with mounting unease as illiberal rulers rose in Hungary, Poland, Turkey, the Philippines, and beyond, while China and Russia grew increasingly bold and bullying. Then, with Trump’s election at home, the global retreat from freedom spread from democracy’s margins to its heart.
Ill Winds’ core argument is stark: the defense and advancement of democratic ideals relies on US global leadership. If we do not reclaim our traditional place as the keystone of democracy, today’s authoritarian swell could become a tsunami, providing an opening for Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and their admirers to turn the 21st century into a dark time of despotism.
We are at a hinge in history, between a new era of tyranny and an age of democratic renewal. Free governments can defend their values; free citizens can exercise their rights. We can make the internet safe for liberal democracy, exploit the soft, kleptocratic underbelly of dictatorships, and revive America’s degraded democracy. Ill Winds offers concrete, deeply informed suggestions to fight polarization, reduce the influence of money in politics, and make every vote count.
In 2019, freedom’s last line of defense still remains “We the people.”
“A leading scholar of democracy combines his academic research with his direct experience to piece together a wide-ranging study of the creation - and possible destruction - of that specific form of governance…. A potent mix of theory and practice…inspiring.” (Kirkus)
“From a scholar who has dedicated his life to studying liberal democracy comes a plan for its long-term preservation. ‘Ill winds’ are indeed blowing - and Diamond has shown us how to weather and, ultimately, beat back the storm.” (Madeleine K. Albright, former Secretary of State and author of Fascism: A Warning)

“…turn the 21st century into a dark time of despotism” - so…just like the 20th Century, then? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?
Thanks, not, sounds interesting.

Hoax, I say! There is clearly no such thing as a Russian. Fake news!

Americans who think they own the world then go on about democracy really aren’t that bright

@loonyboyx - Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

Ah, but America is not a democracy, but rather a federal representative constitutional democratic republic. :D
We’ll see what Diamond has to offer, he can’t be all that bad, being a fellow at Hoover.

Sorry but it’s self-contradictory to the core. I mean how one can save democracy approving a far right coup against democratically elected president as it was in Ukraine in 2014. No way.

This book and other from you, have the beginning of “This is audible” and the ending “Audible hopes you..” but, are those from Audible, because the books of audible (Amazon)
have the worse quality i’ve ever heard. And actually yours are of high quality. Why?? Where do you get this? I need books with quaity because i’m a beginer english learner

@Andresarios100
I have many releases in my Audible library and the quality is fine. Only exceptions are when the company that produced them did a bad job of recording, which isn’t Audible’s fault.
I suspect you may be downloading them at low quality. When you are in your Audible library there should be “Audio Quality” setting. Set that to “Enhanced” then see if that helps (you’ll have to re-download items in your library).
“Enhanced” is 64kbps M4A/M4B format, which is perfectly good for spoken audio.
