How Democracies Die
In How Democracies Die, Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt examine the subtle signs of democratic decline. They introduce two key concepts: mutual tolerance, the acceptance of political opponents as legitimate, and institutional forbearance, the practice of self-restraint in exercising power. This book offers a framework for understanding how democracies can erode from within, even without overt authoritarianism.
