Tyranny of the Minority - Why American Democracy Reached the Breaking Point By Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt (2023)

In "How Democracies Die," Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt dissect the challenges facing America's move toward a multiracial democracy. Examining global examples, the authors explore the peculiar vulnerability of the U.S. Constitution to internal threats, enabling minority rule.

Drawing on historical and contemporary instances, they illustrate how political parties can betray democratic values. The book emphasizes the urgent need for political reform, advocating for the elimination of outdated institutions that hinder progress. Levitsky and Ziblatt assert that the U.S. stands at a critical juncture, facing the choice between evolving into a multiracial democracy or risking the erosion of democratic principles.

Their compelling and insightful work serves as both a warning and a call to action for safeguarding the foundations of American democracy. 📚❤️
