The People vs. Democracy
The People vs. Democracy: Why Our Freedom Is in Danger and How to Save It | Yascha Mounk
1 post | 5 to read
From India to Turkey, from Poland to the United States, authoritarian populists have seized power. Two core components of liberal democracy—individual rights and the popular will—are at war, putting democracy itself at risk. In plain language, Yascha Mounk describes how we got here, where we need to go, and why there is little time left to waste.

Back during the big pandemic years, I bought this book and Timothy Snyder's The Road to Unfreedom. After I finished the Snyder, I needed some time to recover, so I let this one sit on the shelf. Now seems like a good time to get to it. I especially want to read the "how to save it" part.
