<p><b>THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED FOLLOW-UP TO INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER <i>HOW DEMOCRACIES DIE </i>- essential reading ahead of the 2024 US election</b><br><br><b>'<i>Tyranny of the Minority </i>is an exceptional book, one of the best guides out there to the crisis of American democracy' </b>Zack Beauchamp, <i>Vox</i><br><br><i>--------------------------------------</i><br><br><b>How has democracy become so threatened - and what can we do to save it?</b><br><br>With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, <i>How Democracies Die</i>, a global bestseller, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent new framework for understanding the dangerous times we live in. They draw on a wealth of examples - from the Capitol riots to Edwardian Britain, from 1930s France to present-day Thailand - to explore right-wing efforts to undermine the very foundations of the American political system, and to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy.<br><br>With its attention on factors from election losses to demographic change and voting rights, its urgent call for a reform of our politics to balance the need for majority rule with the need for minority protections, and a citizens' movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it's too late, <i>Tyranny of the Minority </i>is a must-read for everyone keen to see more vibrant democracy - and to understand where future threats may come from.<br><br><i>--------------------------------------</i><br><br><b>'Just like their previous work, this book is concise, readable, and convincing'</b> Anne Applebaum, author of Twilight of Democracy<br><br><b>'An exceptionally perceptive and wide-ranging book . . . [that lays] out an ambitious fifteen-plank project of democratic renewal' </b>Lawrence Douglas, <i>TLS</i></p>
